Kinetic and mechanistic studies of blue tetrazolium reaction with phenylhydrazines. 1978

E R Biehl, and R Wooten, and C T Kenner, and R E Graham

The reaction kinetics of blue tetrazolium with selected arylhydrazines were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions. The reaction rate constants were obtained at various temperatures, and the enthalpy (8.4-11.2 kcal/mole) and entropy (-38--45 eu) of activations were calculated. A Hammett plot yielded a straight line with a slope of 0.52. The reaction was inhibited by atmospheric oxygen and iodine. A free radical mechanism is presented.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007455 Iodine A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically. Iodine-127,Iodine 127
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010659 Phenylhydrazines Diazo derivatives of aniline, used as a reagent for sugars, ketones, and aldehydes. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D013778 Tetrazolium Salts Quaternary salts derived from tetrazoles. They are used in tests to distinguish between reducing sugars and simple aldehydes, for detection of dehydrogenase in tissues, cells, and bacteria, for determination of corticosteroids, and in color photography.
