Abstract
The rate constants of formation (k(1)) and hydrolysis (k(2) of the Sch iff bases formed between pyridoxal (PL) and polyallylamine were determ ined as a function of pH at a temperature of 25 degrees C and an ionic strength I=0.1 M. The k(1) values obtained at every pH studied exceed ed those for the Schiff bases of PL with poly-L-lysine and n-hexylamin e, which is consistent with a favoured intramolecular acid catalysis o f the dehydration of the intermediate carbinolamine formed in the proc ess. The Schiff bases examined in this work lie in a hydrophobic envir onment and the pK for their imine group is smaller than 9.2.
