Abstract
Kinetic data observed in Ru(III) catalysed oxidation of levulinic acid (LA) by N-bromobenzamide (NBB) in perchloric acid in the presence of mercuric acetate as Br- scavenger have been reported. The reaction shows first order at low [NBB] but zero order in higher concentration range of NBB. First order in Ru(III) and zero order
in LA were observed. Positive effect of [H+] and negative effect of
addition of sodium perchlorate, potassium chloride and benzamide
was observed. A suitable mechanism in conformity with the
observed kinetics has been proposed.
