Kinetics of oxidation of dopamine (DPM) by sodium N-chlorobenzenesulphonami
de (chloramine-B or CAB) in perchloric acid medium has been studied at 40 d
egreesC. The rate shows first order dependence in [CAB](o) fractional order
in [DPM](o), and inverse fractional order in [H+]. The effects of dielectr
ic constant and solvent isotope have been studied. Michaelis-Menten type of
kinetics have been proposed and activation parameters for the rate determi
ning step have been computed. A mechanism consistent with the observed kine
tics is proposed and discussed.
