Abstract

Abstract: Kinetic and product studies have been carried out for the reaction of 12 tertiary amines, secondary amines, and secondary hydroxylamines with the 4a-hydroperoxide of p- ethyl-3-methyllumiflavin (4a-FlEt00H). All reactions were found to be first order in 4a-HEt00H and amine in t-BuOH solvent. Transfer from 1-BuOH to the aprotic solvent dioxane decreases the second-order rate constant by-threefold, but does not change the kinetic ...
