Abstract

The kinetics of oxidation of l-cystine by MnIII have been studied in sulfuric acid medium at 30 °C. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at λmax = 500 nm. The reaction shows first order dependence on both [MnIII] and [cystine]. It was found that the rate of the reaction decreases with increase of [H+] up to a certain point and then remains unchanged. The oxidation product of the reaction was found to be cysteic acid. A plausible mechanism has been proposed to account for the experimental results.
