Abstract :
Kinetics of oxidation of cholesterol by N- chloro- p-toulene sulfonamide or chloramine-T (CAT) in alcohol medium has been investigated at 303K. The reaction rate shows first-order each on [CAT]0 and [cholesterol]0. Stoichiometry and oxidation products are identified by spectroscopic and chemical technique. The reaction has been studied at different temperatures and thermodynamic parameters have been calculated, mechanism consistent with the kinetic preceding data has been proposed.
