“STUDY OF HYPOTHESIS FOR ACIDITY FUCTIONS IN MICELLER CATALYZED OXIDATIVE DEAMINATION AND DECARBOXYLATION OF GLYCINE BY ACIDIC PERMANGANATE”

Nameeta Bende* and Vijay R. Chourey

ABSTRACT

A Kinetic investigation of oxidation of L isomers of amino acids by acidic permanganate in presence of surfactant as catalyst has been carried out spectrophotometrically. The reaction is double process in which first stage is followed by second fast stage process. The rate shows a first order dependence on each oxidant and substrate. Zucker- Hammett Hypothesis and Bunnett Hypothesis and Bunnett-Olsen Hypothesis has been discussed and verified. Plots of different hypothesis were also been drawn to verified the reaction. L-Isomers of amino acids i.e. glycine were taken for the study.

Keywords: Catalysis, Hypothesis, L-isomers, Surfactant.
