The oxidation of ß-alanine by chromic acid in presence of hydrochloric acid in aqueous medium is reported here. The reaction is of first order with respect to substrate and total order is second with oxidant and substrate respectively. The oxidation reaction of b-alanine was studied at different acid concentrations. The products are acetaldehyde, carbon dioxide and ammonia. The rate of oxidation increases with increase in the concentration of acid. The dielectric constant and catalytic constant are calculated. The suitable mechanism has also been postulated |
