Reactivity of his(hydrogen periodato)cuprate (III) towards glycerophosphates in alkaline medium

1015-1017The reactivities of the isomers of glycerophosphate towards bis(hydrogen periodato)cuprate(III) in alkaline medium have been studied. The reactions are first order each in [glycerophosphate] and [Cu111).The rate is independent of [OH-] at [OH-] below 2.0 x 10-2 mol dm-3 but increases linearly at higher[OH-]. Activation parameters have been estimated and a suitable mechanism proposed

Mechanism of reactions of glycerophosphates with ditelluratocuprate(III) in alkaline medium

623-625The reaction of α- and β-glycerophosphates with ditelluratocuprate (III) in alkaline medium is first order each in [Cu(III)] and [glycerophosphate]. The rate increases with increase in [OH-] in the oxidation of aglycerophosphate but is independent of [OH-] in the reaction of β-glycerophosphate. Based on the kinetic results it is proposed that the mechanism involves C - H bond cleavage in the rate determining step leading to the formation of phosphoglyceraldehydes and copper(II)
