Abstract

The kinetics of Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of triethylamine by molecular oxygen has been investigated in the pH range 1.5 to 2.5 at 35°C and I=0.1 M KCl. The reaction is first order with respect to substrate, catalyst and molecular oxygen concentrations. The rate of the reaction increases with the increase of pH from 1.5 to 2.5 and then there is a slight decrease in the rate above pH 2.5. Based on the kinetic data, a mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of triethylamine is proposed. The major products in the oxidation of triethylamine are the N-oxide, diethylamine and acetaldehyde.
