Abstract
The kinetic pathway of oxidation of crotyl alcohol by sodium salt of N -chloro-4-methylbenzene sulphonamide (chloramine-T) in acidic and alkaline medium has been studied. The speciation of chloramine-T has been made to suggest a proper and reasonable reaction mechanism. The thermodynamic quantities such as activation energy and activation entropy are evaluated in acidic as well as in catalysed alkaline medium. An anticipated reaction mechanism has been suggested.
Highlights
Chloramine-T is a sodium salt of N -chloro-4-methylbenzene sulphonamide and this reagent is used as an important antiseptic and disinfectant in chemical analysis [1]
The sodium salt of N -chloro-4-methylbenzene sulphonamide being a strong electrolyte reportedly spectates [26,27] in different forms which are governed by Eqs. (2) to (6)
Interaction of chloramine-T and crotyl alcohol in acid medium, if discussions regarding species of chloramine-T as mentioned above are any guide along with calculations made by Bishop and Jennings on decinormal solutions of chloramine-T, the RNHCl concentration is significant as contrast to that of RNCl − species
Summary
Chloramine-T is a sodium salt of N -chloro-4-methylbenzene sulphonamide and this reagent is used as an important antiseptic and disinfectant in chemical analysis [1]. This reagent is an important oxidising agent but has been employed as a chlorinating agent [2]. Apart from this, chloramine-T is considered to be an important analytical reagent in both chemical and pharmaceutical analysis [3] more drugs and syrups. The reactions of chloramine-T in alkaline medium are comparatively slow and it is this reason that platinum group metal ions [15,16] were considered effective catalysts in this medium
