MICELLAR CATALYTIC EFFECTS IN THE OXIDATION OF METHYL PHENYL SULFIDE WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND THE HYDROGEN PEROXOCARBONATE ANION

The kinetics and mechanism of the catalysis by ammonium hydrogen carbonate oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide with hydrogen peroxide has been investigated. Using the classical pseudo-phase model of micellar catalysis, the basic parameters of the catalytic process have been determined: the binding constants of H2O2, the HCO4 ^-anion, and the substrate to the surface of the micelles, and also the second order rate constants for the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide in the micellar phase.
