Summary
The kinetics of the ruthenium(III) catalysed oxidation of 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, diethanolamine and triethanolamine by chloramine-T in HClO4 medium have been studied. The reactions exhibits first order rate dependence with respect to the oxidant and to the catalyst, and are zeroth order with respect to the substrate. The rate of oxidation is proportional to k[HClO4]/{k′+k′'[HClO4]} where k, k′ and k′' are constants (a mixture of elementary rate constants and equilibrium constants). A suitable mechanism consistent with the observed kinetic data is proposed.
