Subramani2 1,2Department of Chemistry 1,2Islamiah College, Vaniyambadi – 635752 (T.N.) India Abstract— The kinetics mechanistic studied of BPBC with cleavage accompanied by an induced electron transfer to the Co Cobalt (III) bound and unbound complexes of α-hydroxy (III) in the complex and one electron transfer to the oxidant. The acid in micellar medium at 323 K in 50% acetic acid 50 % contest between the two mechanisms became interesting and water. In this reaction the rate of oxidation shows pseudo produced definite results when mild oxidizing agents like BPBC first order kinetics each in Cobalt (III)] and BPBC. It rules were kinetically followed. The structure of BPBC is given below out the synchronous C-C bond fission and electron transfer O to Cobalt (III) centre. With increasing micelles - concentration an increase in the rate is observed. Oxidation O Cr Br of Cobalt (III) complexes increases with increase in + N NH O temperature. The kinetic and stoichiometric results have Fig. 1: Structure of BPBC been accounted by a suitable mechanism. Key words: α – Hydroxy Acids, 2,2’–Bipyridinium II.

After Chromium (VI) reagents have been widely used in organic dissolution of the chromium trioxide is complete, 15.6 g. chemistry for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to (0.1mole) of 2, 2’-bipyridine is added in portions while stirring carbonyl compounds. Pyridine chromium trioxide complexes vigorously. A yellow slurry results which is stirred for 1 hour at and pyridinium bromo chromate have been especially useful room temperature. The slurry is then collected on a sintered reagents for the mild oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes. glass funnel and washed with two 15 ml portions of cold There are, however, some significant difficulties associated with distilled water. The resulting solid yellow filter cake is dried for the reagents. For instance, chromium containing by-products 3 hours in vacuum at room temperature.The resulting product is often contaminate the desired products, requiring time 2,2’-bipyridinium bromochromate, its purity was checked by an consuming purifications. A novel compound 2, 2’-bipyridinium iodometric method and is obtained in a typical yield of 26.8 g. chlorochromate, 2, 2’-bipyridinium bromo chromate has been which is 92% of the theoretical yield. Mandelic, lactic and discovered which is useful as an oxidizing agent. The compound glycolic acids from (SD Fine chemicals. India 95%) is especially useful as an oxidizing agent in reactions which HClO4 (Merck, India 95%) was standardized using require relatively mild oxidizing conditions, such as the standard sodium carbonate (BDH.AR) solution with methyl conversion of primary or secondary alcohols to carbonyl orange as an indicator. Acetic acid was purified by standard compounds. Evolution 60 thermo spectrophotometer has been 0 1 method and the fraction distilling at 118 C was collected. The utilize to study the oxidation of α-hydroxyacids such as cobalt (III) complexes of alpha-hydroxy acids were prepared as mandelic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid and their Cobalt (III) their perchlorates using the method of Fau and Gould4. The Complexes using Pyridinium dichromate as an oxidant in the surfactants used in the present work are sodium lauryl sulphate presence of surfactant. Surfactants are often used in the 5 2 (NaLS) and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).The formulations of pesticides and herbicides . They have also found surfactants are purified by adopting earlier procedure6 Kinetic a wide range of applications because of their unique solution measurements of the oxidation of cobalt (III) complexes of α - properties such as detergency, solubilisation, and surface hydroxy acids and unbound ligands were carried out under wetting capabilities in diverse areas such as chemical as well as 3 pseudo first order conditions in 50% acetic acid 50% water at 55 biochemical research .

A mechanism involving the C-C bond cleavage source of H+ ions and ionic strength was maintained by leading to the formation of aldehydes as the product was NaClO4.Stoichiometric studies for the oxidation of Penta proposed. The formation of keto acids by the C-H cleavage of ammine cobalt (III) complexes of alpha-hydroxy acids and the alpha-hydroxy acids was reported with many chromium (VI) 3 unbound ligands by BPBC were carried out with the oxidant in oxidant . In the case of complexes, the hydroxyl group of the excess.

Rate Dependence of Bound Co (III) of α–Hydroxy Acids difference in the concentration of the oxidant [BPBC] was in Micellar Medium measured and then the stoichiometry was calculated from the The reaction proposes that BPBC oxidizes OH centre of the ratio between reacted [oxidant] and [substrate]. The amount of cobalt (III) bound α - hydroxy acids at a rate comparable to cobalt (III) reduced was also calculated from the decrease in the that of the unbound ligand and there is 99 % reduction at the absorbance measured for the Co (III) complex (Table 1).All cobalt(III) centre The kinetic data for the oxidation of the kinetic measurements were carried out by the spectro pentaamminecobalt (III) complexes by BPBC in presence of photometer.

The required α-hydroxy acid, HClO4 and showed a total pseudo first order dependence on them and BPBC were premixed in a reaction vessel, thermostated in an oil the reagent. The rates of oxidation of complexes were found bath, and BPBC solution (thermally equilibrated) was then to be higher than the corresponding free ligands showing added prior to the absorbance measurements. that the oxidation was facilitated by complexation. Further A. Product Analysis the absence of keto complexes in the product and formation of aldehydes as the only organic product confirm the C-C Co (II) was estimated after the completion of reaction, by cleavage. The reduction of Co (III) to Co (II) to an extent of diluting the reaction mixture 10-fold with concentrated HCl, 99% showed an induced electron transfer from the ligand to allowing evolution of chlorine to cease, and then measuring the the metal due to decarboxylation and synchronous cleavage absorbance at 692 nm. The amount of Co (II) estimated to of the C-C bond in the complexes. BPBC undergoes a one nearly 40% of [Co (II)] initial. After 48h, the product was electron change and the overall reaction between BPBC and extracted with ether and analysed iodoimetrically for the the complexes could be written as: amount of aldehyde formed in the case of the [Mandelato] and [C H CH (OH) COO – CoIII] +O CrBrO-bPyH+ → [Lactato] Cobalt (III) complexes, the dimeric Co (III) complex, 6 5 2 C H CHO + CrV+ CoII + CO and unbound mandaleic acid.
