Observed stoichiometry, positive effects of ionic strength and dielectric constant point to a mechanism involving formation of an intermediate in a termolecular rate determining slowest step among hypochlorlte ion. hydroxide ion and enollc anion of keto acids followed by a Past step leading to products. Activation parameters have been computed and formaldehyde and formic acid were identified as end-products.

INTRODUCTION The present communication reports the complex kinetics in oxidation of ketoglutaric acids by alkaline solution of chloramlne-T in contrast to very simple kinetic observations, so Par, obtained in chloramine-T oxidation of aldehydes,'r2 ketones,3,4 and aldoses5 in alkaline media. In order to shed some further light on chloramine-T oxidations, the kinetic observations o$ the present invesigatlon have been discussed and a suitable mechanism has been presented.

MATERIALS AND METHODS All the reagents used were of highest purity available. Chloramine-T (E. Merck proanalysis) was used and stored in black coated bottles. Koch-Light (England) sample of D-toluene-SulDhOnamidewas used. All other reanents were of anaiar grade.‘ The solutions of h-ketoglutaric acid (E. Merck) and 8-ketoglutaric acid (Loba Chemle) Were prepared by direct weighing and dissolving in double distilled water. The reaction stllls were blackened Prom outside to avoid any photochemical influence. All reactants except keto acid were allowed to mix and the reaction was initiated by adding subsequently appropriate amount of ketoglutaric acid. The progress of the reaction was monitored by estimating unconsumed CAT iodometrically using starch as indicator. All the rate studies were carried out at constant temperature (i 0.1). Stoichiometry and product analysis Reaction mixture containing excess of CAT over ketoglutaric acid was allowed to equilibrate at 35OC Por 48 hours in presence of 2.00 x 10-l H NaOH. Excess oP CAT left was estimated. The results showed that two moles of CAT were consumed per mole oxidation oP ketoglutarlc acid (Table 1) and accordingly the Pollowing stoichlometric equation could be formulated, where R represents -CH2. CO.COOH and -CO.CH COOH groups in the substrate molecule. The end products formic acid (tes2ed by chgomatographlc technique) and formaldehyde uere tested by conventional methods.
