Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of L-proline by Trivalent Copper: A free radical intervention and decarboxylation

The kinetics of oxidation of L-proline by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.10 mol dm-3 was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between DPC and L-proline in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (DPC: L-Proline). The reaction is...
