Abstract

The kinetics of oxidation of indoles (1a-d) to the corresponding oxindole by the title oxidant in alkaline medium catalysed by osmium(VIII) at 30-degrees-C has been studied. The reaction shows first-order each in chloramine-T] (2), Os(VIII)] (3) and indole] (1a). Effects of added anions and p-toluenesulphonamide (5) as well as varying ionic strength and dielectric constant of the medium have been investigated. Activation parameters have been computed. An isokinetic relationship was observed with beta = 325, indicating enthalpy as the rate-controlling factor. With the available data, including the substituent effects (rho+ = -1.0) which were obtained from a Hammett plot, the proposed mechanism and the derived rate laws are in agreement with the observed kinetics.
