The kinetics of permanganate oxidation of L-phenylalanine in acid medium at a constant ionic strength has been investigated spectrophotometrically. An autocatalytic reaction was observed being autocatalyzed by a soluble form of Mn(1V). The reaction appears to involve a parallel consecutive reaction

β¦ Synopsis
The oxidation of L-Phenylalanine by permanganate ion in aqueous phosphate buffers is autocatalized by the inorganic reaction product, which is stabilized in solution by adsorption of phosphate ions on its surface. This product is a soluble form of colloidal manganese dioxide. The rate of the noncatalytic reaction pathway is first-order in both the oxidizing and reducing agent. It is not affected by potassium chloride addition to the solution, but by phosphate addition. The rate increases with the pH of the medium. The autocatalytic pathway is first-order in both permanganate ion and colloidal manganese dioxide, (the permanganate ion according to the Langmuir isotherm). The autocatalytic rate increases with reductant concentration (follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm). It is not affected by potassium chloride addition to the solution, whereas an increase in the phosphate concentration results in an increase in the rate with the same pH of the medium. Mechanisms consistent with the experimental data are proposed.

The kinetics of the permanganate-hypophosphite redox reaction has been studied over a wide range of pH by using a stopped-flow technique. It has been found that the reaction leads to the formation of phosphite and orthophosphate, and that the molar ratio of the final products depends on pH. The prop
The permanganate oxidation of L-valine has been studied by visible spectrophotometry in neutral aqueous solutions. Under these conditions, both the zwitterionic and anionic forms of the amino acid are oxidized, the reaction being autocatalyzed by soluble colloidal manganese dioxide. Kinetic data for

## Abstract The kinetics of the permanganateβsulfite redox reaction has been studied in the alkaline medium using a stoppedβflow technique. In the pH range 10 to 12 the reaction was found to obey the rate expression: βΒ½__d__[MnO~4~^β^]/__dt__ = (__k__~1~ + __k__~2~[OH^β^]) [MnO~4~^β^] [SO~3~^2β^].
