Abstract
The kinetics of palladium(II) catalysed oxidation of l-proline by permanganate in alkaline medium was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between permanganate and l-proline in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (KMnO4: l-proline). The reaction is first order with respect to [MnO 4 − ] and [Pd(II)], an apparent less than unit order in [alkali] and zero order in [l-proline] under the experimental conditions. Reaction rate increases with increase in ionic strength and decrease in solvent polarity of the medium. Addition of reaction products did not affect the rate significantly. A mechanism involving the intervention of a free radical generated by l-proline has been proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were evaluated. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the Scheme were evaluated and are discussed.
