Kinetic study on the prooxidative effect of vitamin C on the autoxidation of glycerol trioleate in micelles

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2006
Zai-Qun Liu
Abstract Vitamin C (L -ascorbic acid) protects human health by scavenging toxic free radicals and other reactive oxygen species formed in cell metabolism. The surplus supplementation of vitamin C, however, may be harmful to health because the level of 8-oxoguanine and 8-oxoadenine in lymphocyte DNA varies remarkably. In the process of the kinetic investigation on the 2,2,-azobis(2-amidinopropane dihydrochloride) (AAPH)-induced autoxidation of glycerol trioleate (GtH) in the micelles of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100, the addition of vitamin C accelerates the autoxidation of GtH even in the absence of the free radical initiator, AAPH. The initiating rate, Ri, of vitamin C (VC)-induced autoxidation of GtH is related to the micelle charge, i.e. Ri,=,14.4,×,10,6 [VC] s,1 in SDS (anionic micelle), Ri,=,1961,×,10,6 [VC] s,1 in Triton X-100 (neutral micelle) and Ri is a maximum in CTAB (cationic micelle) when the vitamin C concentration is ,300,µM. Thus, vitamin C can initiate autoxidation of GtH in micelles, especially in the neutral one. Moreover, the attempt to explore whether ,-tocopherol (TocH) could rectify vitamin C-induced autoxidation of GtH leads us to find that the rate constant of TocH reacting with the anionic radical of vitamin C (VC.,), k,inh, is ,103M,1,s,1, which is less than that of the ,-tocopherol radical (Toc.) with vitamin C (kinh,=,,105,M,1,s,1). Thus, the equilibrium constant of the reaction Toc.+VC,,TocH+VC., is prone strongly to the regeneration of Toc. by vitamin C rather than the reverse reaction. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Micellar and salt effects on the interaction of [Cu(II)-Gly-Gly]+ with ninhydrin

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 10 2007
Mohd. Akram
The effect of cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the kinetics of interaction of copper dipeptide complex [Cu(II)-Gly-Gly]+ with ninhydrin has been studied spectrophotometrically at 70°C and pH 5.0. The reaction follows first- and fractional-order kinetics, respectively, in complex and ninhydrin. The reaction is catalyzed by CTAB micelles, and the maximum rate enhancement is about twofold. The results obtained in the micellar medium are treated quantitatively in terms of the kinetic pseudophase and Piszkiewicz models. The rate constants (kobs or k,), micellar-binding constants (kS for [Cu(II)-Gly-Gly]+, kN for ninhydrin), and index of cooperativity (n) have been evaluated. A mechanism is proposed in accordance with the experimental results. The influence of different inorganic (NaCl, NaBr, Na2SO4) and organic (NaBenz, NaSal) salts on the reaction rate has also been seen, and it is found that tightly bound/incorporated counterions are the most effective. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetics and mechanism of alkaline hydrolysis of 4-nitrophthalimide in the absence and presence of cationic micelles

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 7 2001
M. Niyaz Khan
Pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for alkaline hydrolysis of 4-nitrophthalimide (NPTH) decreased by nearly 8- and 6-fold with the increase in the total concentration of cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide ([CTABr]T) from 0 to 0.02 M at 0.01 and 0.05 M NaOH, respectively. These observations are explained in terms of the pseudophase model and pseudophase ion-exchange model of micelle. The increase in the contents of CH3CN from 1 to 70% v/v and CH3OH from 0 to 80% v/v in mixed aqueous solvents decreases kobs by nearly 12- and 11-fold, respectively. The values of kobs increase by nearly 27% with the increase in the ionic strength from 0.03 to 3.0 M. The mechanism of alkaline hydrolysis of NPTH involves the reactions between HO, and nonionized NPTH as well as between HO, and ionized NPTH. The micellar inhibition of the rate of alkaline hydrolysis of NPTH is attributed to medium polarity effect. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 33: 407,414, 2001 [source]


Micellar catalysis on the redox reaction of glycolic acid with chromium(VI)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 6 2001
Kabir-ud-Din
Chromium(VI) oxidation of glycolic acid in the absence and presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) followed the same mechanism as shown by kinetic study. The reaction followed second-order kinetics, first-order in each reactant. The oxidation is strongly catalyzed by manganese(II) and cationic micelles of CTAB or CPB. The catalytic effect of micelles can be fitted to a model in which the reaction rate depends upon the concentration of both reactants in the micellar pseudophase. Some added inorganic salts (NaCl, NaBr, NaNO3, and Na2SO4) reduce the micellar catalysis by excluding glycolic acid from the reaction site. The reactivity of glycolic acid towards chromium(VI) has been discussed and also compared with those obtained previously for the reaction between chromium(VI) and the reductants oxalic and lactic acids. On the basis of the observed results, probable mechanisms have been proposed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 33: 377,386, 2001 [source]


An empirical approach to study the occurrence of ion exchange in the ionic micellar-mediated semi-ionic reactions: Kinetics of the rate of reaction of piperidine with ionized phenyl salicylate in the presence of cationic micelles

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 5 2001
M. Niyaz Khan
Pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs),obtained for the cleavage of ionized phenyl salicylate (PS,) at constant [NaOH], [MeCN], [CTAZ]T (total concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and bromide), [Pip]T (total concentration of piperidine), and varying concentrations of sodium cinnamate, acetate, and butanoate ([NaX]),follow the relationship: kobs = (k0 + , K[NaX])/(1 + K[NaX]), where , and K are empirical parameters. The values of , are almost independent of [CTAZ]T, while K values decrease with the increase in [CTAZ]T within its range 0.006,0.020 M. The values of , and K are explained in terms of pseudophase model of micelle coupled with an empirical relationship: KS = KS0/(1 + ,X/S [NaX]), where KS is the CTAZ micellar binding constant of PS, in the presence of NaX. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effects of non-ionic and mixed non-ionic,cationic micelles on the rate of aqueous cleavages of phenyl benzoate and phenyl salicylate in alkaline medium

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 5 2004
M. Niyaz Khan
Abstract Pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for the hydrolysis of phenyl salicylate (PSH) and phenyl benzoate (PB) in the alkaline medium show a monotonic decrease with the increase in [C16E20]T (total concentration of Brij 58) at constant [CH3CN] and [NaOH]. This micellar effect is explained in terms of the pseudophase model of micelles. These results show a characteristic difference between the effects of [C16E20]T and previously published effects of [C12E23]T (total concentration of Brij 35) on the rates of aqueous cleavage of PSH and PB at [CnEm]T/[NaOH],,3. The values of kobs, obtained at different [C16E20]T in the presence of a constant amount of CTABr, follow the empirical relationship kobs=(k0+,K[C16E20]T)/(1+K[C16E20]T), where , and K are empirical parameters. The values of , are not affected whereas the values of K decrease with increase in [CTABr]T in a mixed C16E20,CTABr micellar system. The values of , at different [CTABr]T show that ,>k0 for hydrolysis of PSH and ,[source]


pH-independent hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl 2,2-dichloropropionate in aqueous micellar solutions: relative contributions of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2001
Omar A. EI Seoud
Abstract The pH-independent hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl 2,2-dichloropropionate (NPDCP) in the presence of aqueous micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chlorides (alkyl,=,cetyl and dodecyl) and polyoxyethylene(9) nonylphenyl ether was studied spectrophotometrically. The observed rate constants, kobs, decrease in the following order: bulk water >cationic micelles >anionic micelles >non-ionic micelles. This order is different from that observed for pH-independent hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (NPCF), whose reaction is faster in cationic micelles than in bulk water. A proton NMR study on solubilization of a model ester, 4-nitrophenyl 2-chloropropionate, showed that the methylene groups in the middle of the surfactant hydrophobic chain are most affected by the solubilizate. Lower polarity and high ionic strength of interfacial water decrease the rates of hydrolysis of both NPCF and NPDCP, but the fraction of the former ester that diffuses to the interface is probably higher than that of the latter. Therefore, whereas the (negatively charged) transition state of NPCF is stabilized by cationic interfaces and destabilized by anionic interfaces, that of NPDCP is negligibly affected by ionic interfaces, which explains the observed rate retardation by all ionic micelles. Calculated activation parameters corroborate our explanation. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
