Abstract
Phenylalanine is oxidized by Mn(III) in sulfuric acid-water medium.
Effect of rate by potassium permangnate, MnSO4, H2SO4, HCIO4, ionic
strength, sodium pyrophosphate and temperature has been studied.
Energy of activation is 91.54 kjoule mole-1. Oxidation is affected by
both Mn(III) and Mn(IV). Kinetically Mn(OH)2+ and HMnO43- are the
active oxidising species. A free radical mechanism is suggested.
