Abstract
Oxidative decarboxylation of L-lysine by permanganate in sulfuric acid medium has been found to be first order in both oxidant and substrate concentrations. Various hypotheses for the mechanism of acid catalysis have been tested. The energy and entropy of activation have been calculated as 11.00 and 9.412 kJ mol–1 and –38.29 and –32.08 J mol–1 K–1 for two stages of the reaction, respectively. A kinetic mechanism is proposed, which is in agreement with the experimental data.
