Abstract
The reaction of benzylamine with alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III), at constant ionic strength, in aqueous methanol, has been investigated. The rate of the reaction was first order in each, substrate and oxidant, but was independent of the concentration of alkali, in the range studied (0.01 M to 0.1 M). The mechanistic pathway involved the formation of a radical intermediate, which was characterized by a value of (! = - 1.0, kn/kD = 6.3, and by ESR spectroscopy as four sets of 1 : 2 : 1 triplets.
