Popis: The kinetics of the redox reaction of dialkyl sulfides, model compounds for methionine containing peptides, with Cr V and Cr VI has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous CH 3 CN. Both reactions follow overall second-order kinetics, first order each in sulfide and oxidant. The rate of the reaction with Cr V is two orders more than Cr VI . Based on the substituent and solvent effect an outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism has been proposed for Cr V oxidation. Two different mechanisms, one involving nucleophilic attack of sulfide on chromium and the other, an electron transfer from sulfide to Cr, has been proposed for the Cr VI oxidation.
