Abstract
The rate of autooxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) in the presence of micelles formed from mixing equal (concentrations of [Cu(C12-tmed)Br2] (where C12-tmed is N,N,N′- trimethyl-N′-dodecylethylenediamine) and several amino acids has been investigated. It was found that the rate in air-saturated solution is very much dependent on pH, which affects the availability of copper(II) coordination site for the catechol and the degree of micellization. At a given pH, the rates in [Cu(C12-tmed)Br2] micellar media are greatly enhanced in the presence sodium halide.
