Description 1086-1088
The oxidation of glycollic, lactic, mandelic and malic acids by pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (PHPB) in acetic acid water mixture (3:7, v/v) leads to the formation of corresponding  oxoacids. The reaction is first order each in PHPB . nd the hydroxy acid. Addition of pyridinium hydrobromide does not affect the rate indicating that PHPB itse fis the reactive oxidizing species. The oxidation of ɑ-deutriomandelic acid shows the presence of a primary kinetic isotope effect (<em>k</em><sub>H</sub>/<em>k</em><sub>D</sub> = 5.07). The reaction does not exhibit solvent isotope effect (<em>k</em>(H<sub>2</sub>O)/<em>k</em>(D<sub>2</sub>O) = 1.011. The rate decreases with an increase in acetic acid content in the solvent mixture. A mechanism involving hydride ion transfer to the oxidant is proposed.
