Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Glutamic Acid by N-Bromophthalimide in Aqueous Acidic Medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glutamic acid (Glu) with N-bromophthalimide (NBP) was studied in perchloric acid medium at 30 °C by potentiometric method. The reaction is first order each in NBP and glutamic acid and is negative fractional order in [H+]. Addition of KBr or the reaction product, phthali...
