Kks. Gupta et al., OXIDATIVE BEHAVIOR OF SOME AMINOSUGARS TOWARDS CHROMIC-ACID IN PERCHLORIC-ACID MEDIUM IN THE ABSENCE AND PRESENCE OF MICELLAR ENVIRONMENT, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 32(5), 1993, pp. 546-550
The oxidative behaviour of some aminosugars towards chromium(VI) in pe
rchloric acid medium has been investigated. Chromium(VI) reacts with g
lucosamine and galactosamine by a similar mechanistic path through the
intermediate formation of 1:1 complex between the reactants whereas t
he kinetic evidence for such 1:1 complex formation between protonated
mannosamine and the reactive oxidant is insignificant. The influence o
f added micelle on the rate has also been studied.
