1 Introduction
Cephalosporins are an important and large class of bac-tericidal antimicrobial agents [1] These are semisyntheticantibiotics that contain a 120573-lactam ring which is fused toa dihydrothiazine moiety Cephalexin [(2-[[2-amino-2-(phenylacetyl)-acetamido]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1azabicy-clo[420]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid)] cefadroxil [(2-[2-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-acetamido]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[420]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid) andcephradine [(2-[2-amino-2-(cyclohexa-14-dienyl)acetami-do]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1azabicyclo[420]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid] are important cephalosporins These arewidely used antibiotics which differ from each other withdiverse group of substituents namely phenyl hydrox-yphenyl and cyclohexadienyl at the 7th position of thecephem ringThese drugs are widely used to treat respiratoryand urinary tract infections bronchitis pneumoniaprostatitis and soft tissues infections that are often causedby sensitive bacteria [2 3] From the literature surveyit is evident that a lot of attention has been paid on the
analytical methods for the determination of these drugswith various reagents [4 5] But no information is availableon the oxidation of these drugs with any reagent from thekinetic and mechanistic aspects It is also noted that despitethe importance of these drugs relatively little is knownabout their mode of action at the molecular level Thereforethe mechanism and rate law of these drugs are obscureThe oxidation-kinetic studies of these drugs provide muchinformation about their mechanistic chemistry
Sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide (p-CH3C6H4

(CAT) is of great interest due to its diverse behaviour Theversatile nature of CAT is due to its ability to act as sourcesof halonium cations hypohalite species and nitrogenanions which act both as bases and nucleophiles [6] It isa potent oxidizing and chlorinating agent in both acidicand alkaline media with a two electron change per molegiving p-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) and NaCl The oxidationpotential of PTSsulfonamide system is pH dependent [7]and it decreases with the increase in pH of the medium(1139 0778 and 0614V at pH 065 70 and 97 resp)

CAT is commercially available inexpensive water-tolerantnontoxic and easy to handle [8] Mechanistic aspects ofmany of its reactions have been well documented [8ndash12]
In the light of the above information and in continuationwith our ongoing research on the oxidation kinetics andmechanismof important organic substrates [13ndash15] we reporthere the results obtained on the oxidation kinetics of threecephalosporin drugs namely cephalexin (CEX) cefadroxil(CFL) and cephradine (CPD) with CAT in alkaline mediumin order to elucidate the mechanism of these redox systemsand also to assess their relative rates The studies wereextended to deduce the appropriate kinetic rate law and alsoto establish the isokinetic relationship through the computedthermodynamic parameters
2 Experimental
21 Reagents The substrates cephalexin cefadroxil andcephradine were of analytical grade of purity and were giftedby Orchid Chemicals Pvt Ltd Chennai India These drugswere used as received Fresh aqueous solutions of substrateswere prepared whenever required Chloramine T (Merck)was purified by the method of Carrell Morris et al [16] Anaqueous solution of CAT was prepared standardized iodo-metrically and stored in amber-colored stoppered bottlesuntil further use The concentrations of stock solutions wereperiodically checked All other reagents were of acceptedgrades of purity Heavy water (D
2O 994) was supplied by
BARCMumbai India andwas used to investigate the solventisotope effect Double distilledwater was used throughout thework The regression coefficient 1198772 was calculated using fx-100Z scientific calculator
22 Kinetic Measurements All the kinetic runs were per-formed under pseudo-first-order conditions with a knownexcess of [substrate]o over [oxidant]o The reactions werecarried out in glass stoppered Pyrex boiling tubes whoseouter surface was coated black to eliminate photochemicaleffects Appropriate amounts of the substrate and NaOHsolutions and water (to maintain a constant total 50mLvolume) were taken in the tube and thermostated at 301 K forthermal equilibrium A known amount of CAT solution alsothermostated at the same temperature was rapidly added tothe mixture in the boiling tubeThe mixture was periodicallyshaken to ensure uniform concentration and the progressof the reaction was monitored by iodometric determinationof unreacted CAT in a measured aliquot (5mL each) of thereaction mixture at different intervals of time The courseof the reaction was studied for more than two half-livesThe pseudo first-order rate constants (1198961015840sminus1) calculated fromlinear plots of log [CAT] versus time were reproduciblewithin 2ndash6
23 Reaction Stoichiometry and Product Analysis Differentaliquots of reaction mixtures containing different concen-trations of CAT and substrate with constant NaOH concen-tration (44 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) were equilibrated at 301 K for24 h Iodometric titration of unreacted CAT in the reaction

andCPDwithCATwas kinetically investigated under pseudofirst-order conditions with large excess of the substrate overoxidant at 301 K in NaOH medium The same oxidation-kinetic behaviour was observed for all the three substrateswhich are under the present study
31 Effect of Reactant Concentrations on the Rate of ReactionWhen the substrate is in large excess over oxidant at constant
[substrate]o [NaOH] and temperature plots of log[CAT]versus time are linear (1198772 gt 09873) for all three substratesindicating a first-order dependence of rate on [CAT]o Thepseudo first-order rate constants (1198961015840sminus1) calculated are almostconstant at different initial concentrations of CAT (Table 1)Hence the rate of disappearance of CAT follows first-orderkinetics It is seen from Table 1 that the value of 1198961015840 increaseswith the increase in concentration of the substrate and plotsof log 1198961015840 versus log [substrate] are linear (1198772 gt 09999) withunit slopes Hence the reaction is also of first-order withrespect to [substrate]o Further plots of 119896
1015840 versus [substrate]oare linear (1198772 gt 09998) passing through origin confirmingthe first-order dependence on [substrate]o and also show thatthe substrate CAT complex has only transient existenceFurthermore second-order rate constants were calculatedusing the equation 11989610158401015840 = 1198961015840[substrate]o and were reportedin Table 1 The values of 11989610158401015840 are nearly the same for all thethree drugs establishing the first-order dependence of rateon [substrate]o
32 Effect of Alkali Concentration on the Rate of Reaction Atconstant [CAT]o and [substrate]o values of 119896
1015840 increased withthe increase in [NaOH] (Table 1) This clearly indicates thatthe reaction is catalyzed by OHminus ions Further plots of log 1198961015840versus log [NaOH] were linear (1198772 gt 09984) with slopes of053 044 and 033 for CEX CFL and CPD respectivelysuggesting a fractional-order dependence of rate on [OHminus]in all the three cases
33 Effect of p-Toluenesulfonamide (PTS) Concentration on theRate of Reaction Addition of the reduction product of CATp-toluenesulfonamide (20 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) does not haveany pronounced effect on the rate of the reaction indicatingthat it is not involved in the preequilibrium with the oxidant
34 Effect of Halide Ions on the Rate of Reaction Addition ofClminus or Brminus ions as NaCl or NaBr (50 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) hadno effect on the rate signifying that no interhalogen or freechlorine is formed in the reaction sequence
35 Effect of Ionic Strength of the Medium on the Rate ofReaction The effect of ionic strength of the medium onthe rate of reaction was carried out at 030mol dmminus3usingNaClO
4solution with all other experimental conditions held
constant It was found that the added NaClO4had negligible
effect on the reaction rate suggesting that a neutral moleculeis involved in the rate-determining step Subsequently theionic strength of the reaction mixture was not kept constantfor kinetic runs
36 Effect of Dielectric Constant of the Medium on the Rate ofReaction Rate studies were made in H

at different compositions (0ndash30 vv) in order to studythe effect of varying dielectric constant (119863) of the solventmedium with all other experimental conditions being heldconstant The rate was found to decrease with the increasein MeOH content (Table 2) in all the three substrates and

plots of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 were linear (1198772 gt 09892) withnegative slopes The values of dielectric constant of H
2O-
MeOH mixtures reported in the literature [17] were used Itwas further noticed that no reaction of the dielectric with theoxidant under the experimental conditions was employed
37 Effect of Solvent Isotope on the Rate of Reaction Asthe oxidation of cephalosporins by CAT was acceleratedby hydroxyl ion concentration the solvent isotope effectwas studied in D

mixtures containing different atom fractions of deuterium(119899) the results of which are shown in Table 3
38 Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Thereaction rates were determined at different temperatures(291ndash306K) keeping the other experimental conditions thesame Based on the Arrhenius plots of log 1198961015840 versus 1T(1198772 gt 09985) activation energy and other thermodynamicparameters (Δ119867 Δ119866 Δ119878 and log119860) were computed forall the three substrates All these results are summarized inTable 4
39 Free Radical Test To test for free radical species in thereactionmixture it was added to acrylamide Polymerizationdid not occur confirming the absence of free radical speciesin the reaction mixture Appropriate control experimentswere also run simultaneously
310 Reactive Species of CAT Chloramine-T (TsNClNa) isa moderately strong electrolyte [6] in aqueous solutions(TsNClNa 999445999468 TsNminusCl + Na+) The possible oxidizing speciesof CAT in acid medium [6 18ndash20] are TsNHCl TsNCl

HOCl and possibly H2O+Cl In aqueous alkaline solutions of
CAT TsNCl2does not exist and the expected reactive species
are TsNminusCl TsNHCl OClminus and HOCl as shown by
TsNminusCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNHCl +OHminus (1)
TsNHCl +OHminus 999445999468 TsNH2+OClminus (2)
TsNHCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNH2+HOCl (3)
If TsNHCl is the reactive species retardation of rate byOHminus would be expected according to (1) which is contraryto the experimental results The absence of any significanteffect of the added p-toluenesulfonamide on the rate rulesout the involvement of OClminus and HOCl ions in the reactionsequence ((2) and (3)) Further Bishop and Jennings [6]have calculated the order of the concentrations of the variousspecies present at different pH in 005mol dmminus3 solution ofCAT and a comparison with the concentration of speciespresent in alkaline CAT solution would indicate that TsNminusClis the likely oxidizing species In the present study the positiveeffect of [OHminus] reveals that the anion TsNminusCl is the mostprobable oxidizing species

Scheme 1 A general scheme for the oxidation of cephalosporinswith CAT in alkaline medium
Bearing the above facts inmind the followingmechanism(Scheme 1) is proposed for the oxidation of cephalosporins byCAT in alkaline medium
Here S is the substrate and the structure of the inter-mediate complex species is depicted in Scheme 2 wherea detailed mechanistic interpretation for the oxidation ofcephalosporins by CAT in alkaline medium is illustratedIn step (i) of Scheme 2 the conjugate acid TsNHCl reactswith OHminus in an alkali accelerating step to form an anionTsNminusCl In the next slow and rds (Step (ii)) the lone pairof electrons on sulphur atom of the substrate interacts withpositive chlorine of the oxidant species to form a complexintermediate species with the removal of TsNH

next subsequent fast steps this complex intermediate speciesreacts with another mole of oxidant leading to the cleavageof lactam ring and yields the ultimate products with theelimination of a molecule of HCl
311 Kinetic Rate Law From slowrate-determining step(Step (ii)) of Scheme 1
Rate = 1198962 [TsNminusCl] [S] (4)
If [CAT]t represents the total effective concentration ofCAT in solution then
[CAT]t = [TsNHCl] + [TsNminusCl] (5)
From Step (i) of Scheme 1
1198701 =[TsNminusCl] [H2O][TsNHCl] [OHminus]
(6)
or
[TsNHCl] =[TsNminusCl] [H2O]1198701 [OHminus]
(7)
By substituting for [TsNHCl] from (7) into (5) and solvingfor [TsNminusCl] we get
[TsNminusCl] =[CAT]t [OH

[H2O] +1198701 [OHminus] (8)
By substituting for [TsNminusCl] from (8) into (4) thefollowing rate law (9) is obtained

Rate law (9) is in good agreement with the experimentallyobserved unit orders each in [CAT]o and [S]o and alsofractional-order in [OHminus]
312 Calculation of Reaction Constants Since rate =1198961015840[CAT]t under pseudo first-order conditions of [CAT]oltltlt [S]o (9) can be transformed as follows

Based on (11) plots of 11198961015840 versus 1[OHminus] were linear(1198772 gt 09898) in all the three cases From the slopes andthe intercepts of these plots equilibrium constant (119870

medium which implies [21] a fast preequilibrium hydroxylion transfer (Step (i) of Scheme 1) For a reaction involvinga fast equilibrium H+ or OHminus ion transfer the rate increasesin D2O since D

stronger base (2sim3 times greater) respectively than H3O+
and OHminus ions [21 22] The increase of reaction rate withD2O in the present case and the obtained solvent isotope

Themagnitude of isotope effect however is small which canbe attributed to the fractional-order dependence of rate on[OHminus]
Further the proton inventory studies could shed somelight on the nature of the transition stateThe variation of rate

314 Dielectric Constant Effect The effect of changing solventcomposition on the rate of a bimolecular reaction has beendiscussed by Kirkwood [28] The theory of Kirkwood wasfurther developed by Laidler and Landskroener [29] andTanford and Kirkwood [30] A good account of these andother theories has been given by Entelis and Tiger [31]Further for the limiting case of zero angle approach betweentwo dipoles or an ion-dipole system Amis [32] has shownthat a plot of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 gives a straight line with anegative slope for the reaction between a negative ion and adipole or between the dipoles while a positive slope results ina positive-ion dipole interactionThenegative dielectric effect

observed in the present studies (Table 2) clearly supports thenegative ion-dipole nature of the rds in the proposed scheme
315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-
mation of a molecular complex or a linear relationshipexhibits between enthalpy and entropy one might observewhat is known as enthalpy-entropy compensation This canbe expressed as
Δ119867 = 119886Δ119878 + 119887 (15)
where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas
119896 =119896119861119879
ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways
317 Relative Reactivity of the Substrates From the rate data(Table 4) the rate of oxidation of cephalosporins was foundto follow the order cephradinegt cefadroxilgt cephalexinThistrend can be explained as in Figure 7
In Structure I (cephradine) there is no 120587 cloud inter-action with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atom of thesubstrate which makes the sulphur atom more reactiveto undergo oxidation at a faster rate The Structure II(cefadroxil) might get converted into quinonoid forms (IIa)or (IIb) which results in less reactivity towards sulphur andhence the rate of oxidation is slower than cephradine In

Structure III (cephalexin) there is an involvement of 120587 cloudof the arene with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atommaking it less reactive towards the oxidant Hence the rateof oxidation of cephalexin is the least when compared tocephradine (Structure I) and cefadroxil (Structure II)
318 Activation Parameters Theproposedmechanism is alsosupported by the moderate values of energy of activationand other thermodynamic parameters The large negativevalues of ΔS indicate the formation of a more ordered rigidassociative transition state in each case The high positivevalues of free energy of activation indicate that the transitionstate is highly solvatedThe near constancy of ΔG shows theoperation of an identical mechanism in the oxidation of allthe three substrates of the present study
4 Conclusions
Based on the experimental results the following conclusiveremarks can be acquired
Oxidation of all three drugs follows identical kinetics witha rate law Rate = 1198961015840[CAT][S][OHminus]119909 and here 119909 lt 1From the inspection of rate data the rate of oxidation of drugsfollows the order cephradine gt cefadroxil gt cephalexin
The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1 2 andoxidation products were confirmed bymass spectral analysisActivation parameters and isokinetic temperature indicatesthat the reaction is enthalpy controlled and all the three drugsreact with CAT via the same mechanism A suitable schemeand relevant rate law have been worked out

CAT is commercially available inexpensive water-tolerantnontoxic and easy to handle [8] Mechanistic aspects ofmany of its reactions have been well documented [8ndash12]
In the light of the above information and in continuationwith our ongoing research on the oxidation kinetics andmechanismof important organic substrates [13ndash15] we reporthere the results obtained on the oxidation kinetics of threecephalosporin drugs namely cephalexin (CEX) cefadroxil(CFL) and cephradine (CPD) with CAT in alkaline mediumin order to elucidate the mechanism of these redox systemsand also to assess their relative rates The studies wereextended to deduce the appropriate kinetic rate law and alsoto establish the isokinetic relationship through the computedthermodynamic parameters

BARCMumbai India andwas used to investigate the solventisotope effect Double distilledwater was used throughout thework The regression coefficient 1198772 was calculated using fx-100Z scientific calculator
22 Kinetic Measurements All the kinetic runs were per-formed under pseudo-first-order conditions with a knownexcess of [substrate]o over [oxidant]o The reactions werecarried out in glass stoppered Pyrex boiling tubes whoseouter surface was coated black to eliminate photochemicaleffects Appropriate amounts of the substrate and NaOHsolutions and water (to maintain a constant total 50mLvolume) were taken in the tube and thermostated at 301 K forthermal equilibrium A known amount of CAT solution alsothermostated at the same temperature was rapidly added tothe mixture in the boiling tubeThe mixture was periodicallyshaken to ensure uniform concentration and the progressof the reaction was monitored by iodometric determinationof unreacted CAT in a measured aliquot (5mL each) of thereaction mixture at different intervals of time The courseof the reaction was studied for more than two half-livesThe pseudo first-order rate constants (1198961015840sminus1) calculated fromlinear plots of log [CAT] versus time were reproduciblewithin 2ndash6
23 Reaction Stoichiometry and Product Analysis Differentaliquots of reaction mixtures containing different concen-trations of CAT and substrate with constant NaOH concen-tration (44 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) were equilibrated at 301 K for24 h Iodometric titration of unreacted CAT in the reaction

andCPDwithCATwas kinetically investigated under pseudofirst-order conditions with large excess of the substrate overoxidant at 301 K in NaOH medium The same oxidation-kinetic behaviour was observed for all the three substrateswhich are under the present study
31 Effect of Reactant Concentrations on the Rate of ReactionWhen the substrate is in large excess over oxidant at constant
[substrate]o [NaOH] and temperature plots of log[CAT]versus time are linear (1198772 gt 09873) for all three substratesindicating a first-order dependence of rate on [CAT]o Thepseudo first-order rate constants (1198961015840sminus1) calculated are almostconstant at different initial concentrations of CAT (Table 1)Hence the rate of disappearance of CAT follows first-orderkinetics It is seen from Table 1 that the value of 1198961015840 increaseswith the increase in concentration of the substrate and plotsof log 1198961015840 versus log [substrate] are linear (1198772 gt 09999) withunit slopes Hence the reaction is also of first-order withrespect to [substrate]o Further plots of 119896
1015840 versus [substrate]oare linear (1198772 gt 09998) passing through origin confirmingthe first-order dependence on [substrate]o and also show thatthe substrate CAT complex has only transient existenceFurthermore second-order rate constants were calculatedusing the equation 11989610158401015840 = 1198961015840[substrate]o and were reportedin Table 1 The values of 11989610158401015840 are nearly the same for all thethree drugs establishing the first-order dependence of rateon [substrate]o
32 Effect of Alkali Concentration on the Rate of Reaction Atconstant [CAT]o and [substrate]o values of 119896
1015840 increased withthe increase in [NaOH] (Table 1) This clearly indicates thatthe reaction is catalyzed by OHminus ions Further plots of log 1198961015840versus log [NaOH] were linear (1198772 gt 09984) with slopes of053 044 and 033 for CEX CFL and CPD respectivelysuggesting a fractional-order dependence of rate on [OHminus]in all the three cases
33 Effect of p-Toluenesulfonamide (PTS) Concentration on theRate of Reaction Addition of the reduction product of CATp-toluenesulfonamide (20 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) does not haveany pronounced effect on the rate of the reaction indicatingthat it is not involved in the preequilibrium with the oxidant
34 Effect of Halide Ions on the Rate of Reaction Addition ofClminus or Brminus ions as NaCl or NaBr (50 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) hadno effect on the rate signifying that no interhalogen or freechlorine is formed in the reaction sequence
35 Effect of Ionic Strength of the Medium on the Rate ofReaction The effect of ionic strength of the medium onthe rate of reaction was carried out at 030mol dmminus3usingNaClO

constant It was found that the added NaClO4had negligible
effect on the reaction rate suggesting that a neutral moleculeis involved in the rate-determining step Subsequently theionic strength of the reaction mixture was not kept constantfor kinetic runs

38 Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Thereaction rates were determined at different temperatures(291ndash306K) keeping the other experimental conditions thesame Based on the Arrhenius plots of log 1198961015840 versus 1T(1198772 gt 09985) activation energy and other thermodynamicparameters (Δ119867 Δ119866 Δ119878 and log119860) were computed forall the three substrates All these results are summarized inTable 4

310 Reactive Species of CAT Chloramine-T (TsNClNa) isa moderately strong electrolyte [6] in aqueous solutions(TsNClNa 999445999468 TsNminusCl + Na+) The possible oxidizing speciesof CAT in acid medium [6 18ndash20] are TsNHCl TsNCl

HOCl and possibly H2O+Cl In aqueous alkaline solutions of
CAT TsNCl2does not exist and the expected reactive species
are TsNminusCl TsNHCl OClminus and HOCl as shown by
TsNminusCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNHCl +OHminus (1)
TsNHCl +OHminus 999445999468 TsNH2+OClminus (2)
TsNHCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNH2+HOCl (3)
If TsNHCl is the reactive species retardation of rate byOHminus would be expected according to (1) which is contraryto the experimental results The absence of any significanteffect of the added p-toluenesulfonamide on the rate rulesout the involvement of OClminus and HOCl ions in the reactionsequence ((2) and (3)) Further Bishop and Jennings [6]have calculated the order of the concentrations of the variousspecies present at different pH in 005mol dmminus3 solution ofCAT and a comparison with the concentration of speciespresent in alkaline CAT solution would indicate that TsNminusClis the likely oxidizing species In the present study the positiveeffect of [OHminus] reveals that the anion TsNminusCl is the mostprobable oxidizing species

Scheme 1 A general scheme for the oxidation of cephalosporinswith CAT in alkaline medium
Bearing the above facts inmind the followingmechanism(Scheme 1) is proposed for the oxidation of cephalosporins byCAT in alkaline medium
Here S is the substrate and the structure of the inter-mediate complex species is depicted in Scheme 2 wherea detailed mechanistic interpretation for the oxidation ofcephalosporins by CAT in alkaline medium is illustratedIn step (i) of Scheme 2 the conjugate acid TsNHCl reactswith OHminus in an alkali accelerating step to form an anionTsNminusCl In the next slow and rds (Step (ii)) the lone pairof electrons on sulphur atom of the substrate interacts withpositive chlorine of the oxidant species to form a complexintermediate species with the removal of TsNH

next subsequent fast steps this complex intermediate speciesreacts with another mole of oxidant leading to the cleavageof lactam ring and yields the ultimate products with theelimination of a molecule of HCl
311 Kinetic Rate Law From slowrate-determining step(Step (ii)) of Scheme 1
Rate = 1198962 [TsNminusCl] [S] (4)
If [CAT]t represents the total effective concentration ofCAT in solution then
[CAT]t = [TsNHCl] + [TsNminusCl] (5)
From Step (i) of Scheme 1
1198701 =[TsNminusCl] [H2O][TsNHCl] [OHminus]
(6)
or
[TsNHCl] =[TsNminusCl] [H2O]1198701 [OHminus]
(7)
By substituting for [TsNHCl] from (7) into (5) and solvingfor [TsNminusCl] we get
[TsNminusCl] =[CAT]t [OH

[H2O] +1198701 [OHminus] (8)
By substituting for [TsNminusCl] from (8) into (4) thefollowing rate law (9) is obtained

Rate law (9) is in good agreement with the experimentallyobserved unit orders each in [CAT]o and [S]o and alsofractional-order in [OHminus]
312 Calculation of Reaction Constants Since rate =1198961015840[CAT]t under pseudo first-order conditions of [CAT]oltltlt [S]o (9) can be transformed as follows

313 Proton Inventory Studies The proposed mechanism issupported by the increase in the rate of reaction in D

medium which implies [21] a fast preequilibrium hydroxylion transfer (Step (i) of Scheme 1) For a reaction involvinga fast equilibrium H+ or OHminus ion transfer the rate increasesin D2O since D
3O+ and ODminus ions are stronger acid and
stronger base (2sim3 times greater) respectively than H3O+
and OHminus ions [21 22] The increase of reaction rate withD2O in the present case and the obtained solvent isotope

Themagnitude of isotope effect however is small which canbe attributed to the fractional-order dependence of rate on[OHminus]
Further the proton inventory studies could shed somelight on the nature of the transition stateThe variation of rate

the involvement of a OHminus ion or OH-D exchanges duringthe reaction sequence A linear plot is indicative of a simplesolvent isotope effect involving single exchangeable hydroxylion in the transition state which is isotopically distinct fromwater Hence the participation of OHminus ion in the formationof transition state is inferred Furthermore if it is assumedthat the reaction proceeds through a single transition state(12) can be transformed into (13)

315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879

where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas
119896 =119896119861119879
ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways
317 Relative Reactivity of the Substrates From the rate data(Table 4) the rate of oxidation of cephalosporins was foundto follow the order cephradinegt cefadroxilgt cephalexinThistrend can be explained as in Figure 7
In Structure I (cephradine) there is no 120587 cloud inter-action with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atom of thesubstrate which makes the sulphur atom more reactiveto undergo oxidation at a faster rate The Structure II(cefadroxil) might get converted into quinonoid forms (IIa)or (IIb) which results in less reactivity towards sulphur andhence the rate of oxidation is slower than cephradine In

Structure III (cephalexin) there is an involvement of 120587 cloudof the arene with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atommaking it less reactive towards the oxidant Hence the rateof oxidation of cephalexin is the least when compared tocephradine (Structure I) and cefadroxil (Structure II)
318 Activation Parameters Theproposedmechanism is alsosupported by the moderate values of energy of activationand other thermodynamic parameters The large negativevalues of ΔS indicate the formation of a more ordered rigidassociative transition state in each case The high positivevalues of free energy of activation indicate that the transitionstate is highly solvatedThe near constancy of ΔG shows theoperation of an identical mechanism in the oxidation of allthe three substrates of the present study
4 Conclusions
Based on the experimental results the following conclusiveremarks can be acquired
Oxidation of all three drugs follows identical kinetics witha rate law Rate = 1198961015840[CAT][S][OHminus]119909 and here 119909 lt 1From the inspection of rate data the rate of oxidation of drugsfollows the order cephradine gt cefadroxil gt cephalexin
The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1 2 andoxidation products were confirmed bymass spectral analysisActivation parameters and isokinetic temperature indicatesthat the reaction is enthalpy controlled and all the three drugsreact with CAT via the same mechanism A suitable schemeand relevant rate law have been worked out

andCPDwithCATwas kinetically investigated under pseudofirst-order conditions with large excess of the substrate overoxidant at 301 K in NaOH medium The same oxidation-kinetic behaviour was observed for all the three substrateswhich are under the present study
31 Effect of Reactant Concentrations on the Rate of ReactionWhen the substrate is in large excess over oxidant at constant
[substrate]o [NaOH] and temperature plots of log[CAT]versus time are linear (1198772 gt 09873) for all three substratesindicating a first-order dependence of rate on [CAT]o Thepseudo first-order rate constants (1198961015840sminus1) calculated are almostconstant at different initial concentrations of CAT (Table 1)Hence the rate of disappearance of CAT follows first-orderkinetics It is seen from Table 1 that the value of 1198961015840 increaseswith the increase in concentration of the substrate and plotsof log 1198961015840 versus log [substrate] are linear (1198772 gt 09999) withunit slopes Hence the reaction is also of first-order withrespect to [substrate]o Further plots of 119896
1015840 versus [substrate]oare linear (1198772 gt 09998) passing through origin confirmingthe first-order dependence on [substrate]o and also show thatthe substrate CAT complex has only transient existenceFurthermore second-order rate constants were calculatedusing the equation 11989610158401015840 = 1198961015840[substrate]o and were reportedin Table 1 The values of 11989610158401015840 are nearly the same for all thethree drugs establishing the first-order dependence of rateon [substrate]o
32 Effect of Alkali Concentration on the Rate of Reaction Atconstant [CAT]o and [substrate]o values of 119896
1015840 increased withthe increase in [NaOH] (Table 1) This clearly indicates thatthe reaction is catalyzed by OHminus ions Further plots of log 1198961015840versus log [NaOH] were linear (1198772 gt 09984) with slopes of053 044 and 033 for CEX CFL and CPD respectivelysuggesting a fractional-order dependence of rate on [OHminus]in all the three cases
33 Effect of p-Toluenesulfonamide (PTS) Concentration on theRate of Reaction Addition of the reduction product of CATp-toluenesulfonamide (20 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) does not haveany pronounced effect on the rate of the reaction indicatingthat it is not involved in the preequilibrium with the oxidant
34 Effect of Halide Ions on the Rate of Reaction Addition ofClminus or Brminus ions as NaCl or NaBr (50 times 10minus3mol dmminus3) hadno effect on the rate signifying that no interhalogen or freechlorine is formed in the reaction sequence
35 Effect of Ionic Strength of the Medium on the Rate ofReaction The effect of ionic strength of the medium onthe rate of reaction was carried out at 030mol dmminus3usingNaClO
4solution with all other experimental conditions held
constant It was found that the added NaClO4had negligible
effect on the reaction rate suggesting that a neutral moleculeis involved in the rate-determining step Subsequently theionic strength of the reaction mixture was not kept constantfor kinetic runs
36 Effect of Dielectric Constant of the Medium on the Rate ofReaction Rate studies were made in H

at different compositions (0ndash30 vv) in order to studythe effect of varying dielectric constant (119863) of the solventmedium with all other experimental conditions being heldconstant The rate was found to decrease with the increasein MeOH content (Table 2) in all the three substrates and

MeOH mixtures reported in the literature [17] were used Itwas further noticed that no reaction of the dielectric with theoxidant under the experimental conditions was employed

mixtures containing different atom fractions of deuterium(119899) the results of which are shown in Table 3
38 Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Thereaction rates were determined at different temperatures(291ndash306K) keeping the other experimental conditions thesame Based on the Arrhenius plots of log 1198961015840 versus 1T(1198772 gt 09985) activation energy and other thermodynamicparameters (Δ119867 Δ119866 Δ119878 and log119860) were computed forall the three substrates All these results are summarized inTable 4
39 Free Radical Test To test for free radical species in thereactionmixture it was added to acrylamide Polymerizationdid not occur confirming the absence of free radical speciesin the reaction mixture Appropriate control experimentswere also run simultaneously
310 Reactive Species of CAT Chloramine-T (TsNClNa) isa moderately strong electrolyte [6] in aqueous solutions(TsNClNa 999445999468 TsNminusCl + Na+) The possible oxidizing speciesof CAT in acid medium [6 18ndash20] are TsNHCl TsNCl

HOCl and possibly H2O+Cl In aqueous alkaline solutions of
CAT TsNCl2does not exist and the expected reactive species
are TsNminusCl TsNHCl OClminus and HOCl as shown by
TsNminusCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNHCl +OHminus (1)
TsNHCl +OHminus 999445999468 TsNH2+OClminus (2)
TsNHCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNH2+HOCl (3)
If TsNHCl is the reactive species retardation of rate byOHminus would be expected according to (1) which is contraryto the experimental results The absence of any significanteffect of the added p-toluenesulfonamide on the rate rulesout the involvement of OClminus and HOCl ions in the reactionsequence ((2) and (3)) Further Bishop and Jennings [6]have calculated the order of the concentrations of the variousspecies present at different pH in 005mol dmminus3 solution ofCAT and a comparison with the concentration of speciespresent in alkaline CAT solution would indicate that TsNminusClis the likely oxidizing species In the present study the positiveeffect of [OHminus] reveals that the anion TsNminusCl is the mostprobable oxidizing species

Scheme 1 A general scheme for the oxidation of cephalosporinswith CAT in alkaline medium
Bearing the above facts inmind the followingmechanism(Scheme 1) is proposed for the oxidation of cephalosporins byCAT in alkaline medium
Here S is the substrate and the structure of the inter-mediate complex species is depicted in Scheme 2 wherea detailed mechanistic interpretation for the oxidation ofcephalosporins by CAT in alkaline medium is illustratedIn step (i) of Scheme 2 the conjugate acid TsNHCl reactswith OHminus in an alkali accelerating step to form an anionTsNminusCl In the next slow and rds (Step (ii)) the lone pairof electrons on sulphur atom of the substrate interacts withpositive chlorine of the oxidant species to form a complexintermediate species with the removal of TsNH

next subsequent fast steps this complex intermediate speciesreacts with another mole of oxidant leading to the cleavageof lactam ring and yields the ultimate products with theelimination of a molecule of HCl
311 Kinetic Rate Law From slowrate-determining step(Step (ii)) of Scheme 1
Rate = 1198962 [TsNminusCl] [S] (4)
If [CAT]t represents the total effective concentration ofCAT in solution then
[CAT]t = [TsNHCl] + [TsNminusCl] (5)
From Step (i) of Scheme 1
1198701 =[TsNminusCl] [H2O][TsNHCl] [OHminus]

or
[TsNHCl] =[TsNminusCl] [H2O]1198701 [OHminus]

By substituting for [TsNHCl] from (7) into (5) and solvingfor [TsNminusCl] we get

313 Proton Inventory Studies The proposed mechanism issupported by the increase in the rate of reaction in D
2O
medium which implies [21] a fast preequilibrium hydroxylion transfer (Step (i) of Scheme 1) For a reaction involvinga fast equilibrium H+ or OHminus ion transfer the rate increasesin D2O since D
3O+ and ODminus ions are stronger acid and
stronger base (2sim3 times greater) respectively than H3O+
and OHminus ions [21 22] The increase of reaction rate withD2O in the present case and the obtained solvent isotope
effect 1198961015840(H2O)10158401198961015840(D2O) lt 1 conform to the above theory
Themagnitude of isotope effect however is small which canbe attributed to the fractional-order dependence of rate on[OHminus]
Further the proton inventory studies could shed somelight on the nature of the transition stateThe variation of rate

factors for isotopically exchangeable hydrogenic sites in thetransition state (TS) and reactant states (RS) respectivelyEquation (12) allows the calculation of the fractionationfactor of TS if the reactant fractionation factor is known
Proton inventory plot of 1198961015840119899versus 119899 (Figure 4 1198772 =
09948 Table 3) in the present case is a straight line Acomparison with the standard plots [25] clearly indicates
the involvement of a OHminus ion or OH-D exchanges duringthe reaction sequence A linear plot is indicative of a simplesolvent isotope effect involving single exchangeable hydroxylion in the transition state which is isotopically distinct fromwater Hence the participation of OHminus ion in the formationof transition state is inferred Furthermore if it is assumedthat the reaction proceeds through a single transition state(12) can be transformed into (13)

314 Dielectric Constant Effect The effect of changing solventcomposition on the rate of a bimolecular reaction has beendiscussed by Kirkwood [28] The theory of Kirkwood wasfurther developed by Laidler and Landskroener [29] andTanford and Kirkwood [30] A good account of these andother theories has been given by Entelis and Tiger [31]Further for the limiting case of zero angle approach betweentwo dipoles or an ion-dipole system Amis [32] has shownthat a plot of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 gives a straight line with anegative slope for the reaction between a negative ion and adipole or between the dipoles while a positive slope results ina positive-ion dipole interactionThenegative dielectric effect

observed in the present studies (Table 2) clearly supports thenegative ion-dipole nature of the rds in the proposed scheme
315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-
mation of a molecular complex or a linear relationshipexhibits between enthalpy and entropy one might observewhat is known as enthalpy-entropy compensation This canbe expressed as
Δ119867 = 119886Δ119878 + 119887 (15)
where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas
119896 =119896119861119879
ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways
317 Relative Reactivity of the Substrates From the rate data(Table 4) the rate of oxidation of cephalosporins was foundto follow the order cephradinegt cefadroxilgt cephalexinThistrend can be explained as in Figure 7
In Structure I (cephradine) there is no 120587 cloud inter-action with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atom of thesubstrate which makes the sulphur atom more reactiveto undergo oxidation at a faster rate The Structure II(cefadroxil) might get converted into quinonoid forms (IIa)or (IIb) which results in less reactivity towards sulphur andhence the rate of oxidation is slower than cephradine In

Structure III (cephalexin) there is an involvement of 120587 cloudof the arene with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atommaking it less reactive towards the oxidant Hence the rateof oxidation of cephalexin is the least when compared tocephradine (Structure I) and cefadroxil (Structure II)
318 Activation Parameters Theproposedmechanism is alsosupported by the moderate values of energy of activationand other thermodynamic parameters The large negativevalues of ΔS indicate the formation of a more ordered rigidassociative transition state in each case The high positivevalues of free energy of activation indicate that the transitionstate is highly solvatedThe near constancy of ΔG shows theoperation of an identical mechanism in the oxidation of allthe three substrates of the present study
4 Conclusions
Based on the experimental results the following conclusiveremarks can be acquired
Oxidation of all three drugs follows identical kinetics witha rate law Rate = 1198961015840[CAT][S][OHminus]119909 and here 119909 lt 1From the inspection of rate data the rate of oxidation of drugsfollows the order cephradine gt cefadroxil gt cephalexin
The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1 2 andoxidation products were confirmed bymass spectral analysisActivation parameters and isokinetic temperature indicatesthat the reaction is enthalpy controlled and all the three drugsreact with CAT via the same mechanism A suitable schemeand relevant rate law have been worked out

mixtures containing different atom fractions of deuterium(119899) the results of which are shown in Table 3
38 Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Thereaction rates were determined at different temperatures(291ndash306K) keeping the other experimental conditions thesame Based on the Arrhenius plots of log 1198961015840 versus 1T(1198772 gt 09985) activation energy and other thermodynamicparameters (Δ119867 Δ119866 Δ119878 and log119860) were computed forall the three substrates All these results are summarized inTable 4

310 Reactive Species of CAT Chloramine-T (TsNClNa) isa moderately strong electrolyte [6] in aqueous solutions(TsNClNa 999445999468 TsNminusCl + Na+) The possible oxidizing speciesof CAT in acid medium [6 18ndash20] are TsNHCl TsNCl

HOCl and possibly H2O+Cl In aqueous alkaline solutions of
CAT TsNCl2does not exist and the expected reactive species
are TsNminusCl TsNHCl OClminus and HOCl as shown by
TsNminusCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNHCl +OHminus (1)
TsNHCl +OHminus 999445999468 TsNH2+OClminus (2)
TsNHCl +H2O 999445999468 TsNH2+HOCl (3)
If TsNHCl is the reactive species retardation of rate byOHminus would be expected according to (1) which is contraryto the experimental results The absence of any significanteffect of the added p-toluenesulfonamide on the rate rulesout the involvement of OClminus and HOCl ions in the reactionsequence ((2) and (3)) Further Bishop and Jennings [6]have calculated the order of the concentrations of the variousspecies present at different pH in 005mol dmminus3 solution ofCAT and a comparison with the concentration of speciespresent in alkaline CAT solution would indicate that TsNminusClis the likely oxidizing species In the present study the positiveeffect of [OHminus] reveals that the anion TsNminusCl is the mostprobable oxidizing species

Scheme 1 A general scheme for the oxidation of cephalosporinswith CAT in alkaline medium
Bearing the above facts inmind the followingmechanism(Scheme 1) is proposed for the oxidation of cephalosporins byCAT in alkaline medium
Here S is the substrate and the structure of the inter-mediate complex species is depicted in Scheme 2 wherea detailed mechanistic interpretation for the oxidation ofcephalosporins by CAT in alkaline medium is illustratedIn step (i) of Scheme 2 the conjugate acid TsNHCl reactswith OHminus in an alkali accelerating step to form an anionTsNminusCl In the next slow and rds (Step (ii)) the lone pairof electrons on sulphur atom of the substrate interacts withpositive chlorine of the oxidant species to form a complexintermediate species with the removal of TsNH
2 In the
next subsequent fast steps this complex intermediate speciesreacts with another mole of oxidant leading to the cleavageof lactam ring and yields the ultimate products with theelimination of a molecule of HCl
311 Kinetic Rate Law From slowrate-determining step(Step (ii)) of Scheme 1
Rate = 1198962 [TsNminusCl] [S] (4)
If [CAT]t represents the total effective concentration ofCAT in solution then
[CAT]t = [TsNHCl] + [TsNminusCl] (5)
From Step (i) of Scheme 1
1198701 =[TsNminusCl] [H2O][TsNHCl] [OHminus]
(6)
or
[TsNHCl] =[TsNminusCl] [H2O]1198701 [OHminus]
(7)
By substituting for [TsNHCl] from (7) into (5) and solvingfor [TsNminusCl] we get
[TsNminusCl] =[CAT]t [OH
minus]
[H2O] +1198701 [OHminus] (8)
By substituting for [TsNminusCl] from (8) into (4) thefollowing rate law (9) is obtained

[H2O] + 1198701 [OHminus] (9)

Rate law (9) is in good agreement with the experimentallyobserved unit orders each in [CAT]o and [S]o and alsofractional-order in [OHminus]

Based on (11) plots of 11198961015840 versus 1[OHminus] were linear(1198772 gt 09898) in all the three cases From the slopes andthe intercepts of these plots equilibrium constant (119870

313 Proton Inventory Studies The proposed mechanism issupported by the increase in the rate of reaction in D
2O
medium which implies [21] a fast preequilibrium hydroxylion transfer (Step (i) of Scheme 1) For a reaction involvinga fast equilibrium H+ or OHminus ion transfer the rate increasesin D2O since D
3O+ and ODminus ions are stronger acid and
stronger base (2sim3 times greater) respectively than H3O+
and OHminus ions [21 22] The increase of reaction rate withD2O in the present case and the obtained solvent isotope
effect 1198961015840(H2O)10158401198961015840(D2O) lt 1 conform to the above theory
Themagnitude of isotope effect however is small which canbe attributed to the fractional-order dependence of rate on[OHminus]
Further the proton inventory studies could shed somelight on the nature of the transition stateThe variation of rate

the involvement of a OHminus ion or OH-D exchanges duringthe reaction sequence A linear plot is indicative of a simplesolvent isotope effect involving single exchangeable hydroxylion in the transition state which is isotopically distinct fromwater Hence the participation of OHminus ion in the formationof transition state is inferred Furthermore if it is assumedthat the reaction proceeds through a single transition state(12) can be transformed into (13)

314 Dielectric Constant Effect The effect of changing solventcomposition on the rate of a bimolecular reaction has beendiscussed by Kirkwood [28] The theory of Kirkwood wasfurther developed by Laidler and Landskroener [29] andTanford and Kirkwood [30] A good account of these andother theories has been given by Entelis and Tiger [31]Further for the limiting case of zero angle approach betweentwo dipoles or an ion-dipole system Amis [32] has shownthat a plot of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 gives a straight line with anegative slope for the reaction between a negative ion and adipole or between the dipoles while a positive slope results ina positive-ion dipole interactionThenegative dielectric effect

observed in the present studies (Table 2) clearly supports thenegative ion-dipole nature of the rds in the proposed scheme
315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-
mation of a molecular complex or a linear relationshipexhibits between enthalpy and entropy one might observewhat is known as enthalpy-entropy compensation This canbe expressed as
Δ119867 = 119886Δ119878 + 119887 (15)
where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas

ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways
317 Relative Reactivity of the Substrates From the rate data(Table 4) the rate of oxidation of cephalosporins was foundto follow the order cephradinegt cefadroxilgt cephalexinThistrend can be explained as in Figure 7
In Structure I (cephradine) there is no 120587 cloud inter-action with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atom of thesubstrate which makes the sulphur atom more reactiveto undergo oxidation at a faster rate The Structure II(cefadroxil) might get converted into quinonoid forms (IIa)or (IIb) which results in less reactivity towards sulphur andhence the rate of oxidation is slower than cephradine In

318 Activation Parameters Theproposedmechanism is alsosupported by the moderate values of energy of activationand other thermodynamic parameters The large negativevalues of ΔS indicate the formation of a more ordered rigidassociative transition state in each case The high positivevalues of free energy of activation indicate that the transitionstate is highly solvatedThe near constancy of ΔG shows theoperation of an identical mechanism in the oxidation of allthe three substrates of the present study
4 Conclusions

Rate law (9) is in good agreement with the experimentallyobserved unit orders each in [CAT]o and [S]o and alsofractional-order in [OHminus]
312 Calculation of Reaction Constants Since rate =1198961015840[CAT]t under pseudo first-order conditions of [CAT]oltltlt [S]o (9) can be transformed as follows
1198961015840 =11987011198962 [S] [OH

Based on (11) plots of 11198961015840 versus 1[OHminus] were linear(1198772 gt 09898) in all the three cases From the slopes andthe intercepts of these plots equilibrium constant (119870

decomposition constant (1198962) were found to be 643 times 106
529times106 and 672times106 and 008times10minus3 02times10minus3 and 03times10minus3 sminus1 for CEX CFL and CPD respectively The proposedscheme and the derived rate law are also substantiated by theexperimental observations discussed below
313 Proton Inventory Studies The proposed mechanism issupported by the increase in the rate of reaction in D
2O
medium which implies [21] a fast preequilibrium hydroxylion transfer (Step (i) of Scheme 1) For a reaction involvinga fast equilibrium H+ or OHminus ion transfer the rate increasesin D2O since D
3O+ and ODminus ions are stronger acid and
stronger base (2sim3 times greater) respectively than H3O+
and OHminus ions [21 22] The increase of reaction rate withD2O in the present case and the obtained solvent isotope
effect 1198961015840(H2O)10158401198961015840(D2O) lt 1 conform to the above theory
Themagnitude of isotope effect however is small which canbe attributed to the fractional-order dependence of rate on[OHminus]
Further the proton inventory studies could shed somelight on the nature of the transition stateThe variation of rate

Here 1198961015840119899is the rate constant in a mixed solvent which
contains an atom fraction ldquo119899rdquo of deuterium and 1198961015840119900is the rate

factors for isotopically exchangeable hydrogenic sites in thetransition state (TS) and reactant states (RS) respectivelyEquation (12) allows the calculation of the fractionationfactor of TS if the reactant fractionation factor is known
Proton inventory plot of 1198961015840119899versus 119899 (Figure 4 1198772 =
09948 Table 3) in the present case is a straight line Acomparison with the standard plots [25] clearly indicates
the involvement of a OHminus ion or OH-D exchanges duringthe reaction sequence A linear plot is indicative of a simplesolvent isotope effect involving single exchangeable hydroxylion in the transition state which is isotopically distinct fromwater Hence the participation of OHminus ion in the formationof transition state is inferred Furthermore if it is assumedthat the reaction proceeds through a single transition state(12) can be transformed into (13)

a value of 080 through NMR studies for the isotopicfractionation factor of OHminus which is confirmed by Goldand Grist [27] Considering the diversity of proceduresemployed there is an agreement between the present valueand the values reported in the literature
314 Dielectric Constant Effect The effect of changing solventcomposition on the rate of a bimolecular reaction has beendiscussed by Kirkwood [28] The theory of Kirkwood wasfurther developed by Laidler and Landskroener [29] andTanford and Kirkwood [30] A good account of these andother theories has been given by Entelis and Tiger [31]Further for the limiting case of zero angle approach betweentwo dipoles or an ion-dipole system Amis [32] has shownthat a plot of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 gives a straight line with anegative slope for the reaction between a negative ion and adipole or between the dipoles while a positive slope results ina positive-ion dipole interactionThenegative dielectric effect

observed in the present studies (Table 2) clearly supports thenegative ion-dipole nature of the rds in the proposed scheme
315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-

where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas

ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways
317 Relative Reactivity of the Substrates From the rate data(Table 4) the rate of oxidation of cephalosporins was foundto follow the order cephradinegt cefadroxilgt cephalexinThistrend can be explained as in Figure 7
In Structure I (cephradine) there is no 120587 cloud inter-action with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atom of thesubstrate which makes the sulphur atom more reactiveto undergo oxidation at a faster rate The Structure II(cefadroxil) might get converted into quinonoid forms (IIa)or (IIb) which results in less reactivity towards sulphur andhence the rate of oxidation is slower than cephradine In

Structure III (cephalexin) there is an involvement of 120587 cloudof the arene with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atommaking it less reactive towards the oxidant Hence the rateof oxidation of cephalexin is the least when compared tocephradine (Structure I) and cefadroxil (Structure II)
318 Activation Parameters Theproposedmechanism is alsosupported by the moderate values of energy of activationand other thermodynamic parameters The large negativevalues of ΔS indicate the formation of a more ordered rigidassociative transition state in each case The high positivevalues of free energy of activation indicate that the transitionstate is highly solvatedThe near constancy of ΔG shows theoperation of an identical mechanism in the oxidation of allthe three substrates of the present study
4 Conclusions
Based on the experimental results the following conclusiveremarks can be acquired
Oxidation of all three drugs follows identical kinetics witha rate law Rate = 1198961015840[CAT][S][OHminus]119909 and here 119909 lt 1From the inspection of rate data the rate of oxidation of drugsfollows the order cephradine gt cefadroxil gt cephalexin
The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1 2 andoxidation products were confirmed bymass spectral analysisActivation parameters and isokinetic temperature indicatesthat the reaction is enthalpy controlled and all the three drugsreact with CAT via the same mechanism A suitable schemeand relevant rate law have been worked out

Here 1198961015840119899is the rate constant in a mixed solvent which
contains an atom fraction ldquo119899rdquo of deuterium and 1198961015840119900is the rate
constant in pureH2O 120593119894and 120593119895are the isotopic fractionation
factors for isotopically exchangeable hydrogenic sites in thetransition state (TS) and reactant states (RS) respectivelyEquation (12) allows the calculation of the fractionationfactor of TS if the reactant fractionation factor is known
Proton inventory plot of 1198961015840119899versus 119899 (Figure 4 1198772 =
09948 Table 3) in the present case is a straight line Acomparison with the standard plots [25] clearly indicates
the involvement of a OHminus ion or OH-D exchanges duringthe reaction sequence A linear plot is indicative of a simplesolvent isotope effect involving single exchangeable hydroxylion in the transition state which is isotopically distinct fromwater Hence the participation of OHminus ion in the formationof transition state is inferred Furthermore if it is assumedthat the reaction proceeds through a single transition state(12) can be transformed into (13)

314 Dielectric Constant Effect The effect of changing solventcomposition on the rate of a bimolecular reaction has beendiscussed by Kirkwood [28] The theory of Kirkwood wasfurther developed by Laidler and Landskroener [29] andTanford and Kirkwood [30] A good account of these andother theories has been given by Entelis and Tiger [31]Further for the limiting case of zero angle approach betweentwo dipoles or an ion-dipole system Amis [32] has shownthat a plot of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 gives a straight line with anegative slope for the reaction between a negative ion and adipole or between the dipoles while a positive slope results ina positive-ion dipole interactionThenegative dielectric effect

observed in the present studies (Table 2) clearly supports thenegative ion-dipole nature of the rds in the proposed scheme
315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-
mation of a molecular complex or a linear relationshipexhibits between enthalpy and entropy one might observewhat is known as enthalpy-entropy compensation This canbe expressed as
Δ119867 = 119886Δ119878 + 119887 (15)
where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas

314 Dielectric Constant Effect The effect of changing solventcomposition on the rate of a bimolecular reaction has beendiscussed by Kirkwood [28] The theory of Kirkwood wasfurther developed by Laidler and Landskroener [29] andTanford and Kirkwood [30] A good account of these andother theories has been given by Entelis and Tiger [31]Further for the limiting case of zero angle approach betweentwo dipoles or an ion-dipole system Amis [32] has shownthat a plot of log 1198961015840 versus 1119863 gives a straight line with anegative slope for the reaction between a negative ion and adipole or between the dipoles while a positive slope results ina positive-ion dipole interactionThenegative dielectric effect

observed in the present studies (Table 2) clearly supports thenegative ion-dipole nature of the rds in the proposed scheme
315 Ionic Strength Effect Theproposed reactionmechanismis also evinced by the observed zero effect of ionic strengthon the rate of reactionThe primary salt effect on the reactionrates has been described by Broslashnsted and Bjerrum theory[33] According to this concept the effect of ionic strength(120583) on the rate of a reaction involving two ions is given by thefollowing relationship
log 1198961015840 = log 1198961015840119900+ 102119885
11986011988511986112058312 (14)
where 119860 and 119861 are the reacting ions 119885119860and 119885
119861are the
charges on the respective species 1198961015840 and 1198961015840119900are the rate
constants in the presence and in the absence of the addedelectrolyte respectively Equation (14) shows that a plot oflog 1198961015840 versus 12058312 would be linear yielding a slope 102 119885
119860119885119861
and an intercept log 1198961015840119900 As the slope of the line depends on
charges of the reacting ions three special cases may arise (i)if 119860 and 119861 have the same charges 119885
119860119885119861will be positive and
the rate constant 1198961015840 increases with radic120583 (ii) if 119860 and 119861 haveopposite signs 119885
119860119885119861will be negative and the rate constant
1198961015840 decreases with radic120583 and (iii) if either 119860 or 119861 is uncharged119885119860119885119861is equal to zero and 1198961015840 is independent of the ionic
strength of the solution In the present case a negative chargeand a neutral molecule are involved in the rate-determiningstep (Step (ii) of Scheme 2) Hence variation of the ionicstrength of the medium does not alter the rate and it clearlyconforms to the above theory (case (iii))
316 Isokinetic Relationship Variation in rate within a reac-tion series may be caused by changes in both enthalpy ofactivation (Δ119867) and entropy of activation (Δ119878) but thesequantities vary in a parallel fashion These variables arecorrelated by a linear relationship Δ119867 = Δ119867
119900+ 120573Δ119878
where 120573 is the isokinetic temperature It is the temperatureat which the rate constant is identical for the reaction seriesTable 4 shows that the activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa indicating that the reaction

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-
mation of a molecular complex or a linear relationshipexhibits between enthalpy and entropy one might observewhat is known as enthalpy-entropy compensation This canbe expressed as
Δ119867 = 119886Δ119878 + 119887 (15)
where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas

ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways

is enthalpy controlled This is verified by calculating theisokinetic temperature (120573) from the slope of linear plot ofΔ119867 versus Δ119878 (Figure 5 1198772 = 09990) The value of 120573was found to be 378K Further the validity of isokineticrelation has been done by the Exner criterion [34] by plottinglog 1198961015840(301K) versus log 1198961015840
(291K) which gives a straight line(Figure 5 1198772 = 09913) The value of 120573 was calculated fromthe equation 120573 = 119879
11198792(119902 minus 1)(119902119879
2minus 1198791) where 119902 is the slope
of the Exner plot 120573 was found to be 370KGenerally in a chemical reaction when there is a for-
mation of a molecular complex or a linear relationshipexhibits between enthalpy and entropy one might observewhat is known as enthalpy-entropy compensation This canbe expressed as
Δ119867 = 119886Δ119878 + 119887 (15)
where 119886 and 119887 are constants usually called as compensationparameters This type of compensation has been observed invarious processes and many models have been put forwardto explain this complex phenomenon [35 36] According tothe transition state theory the rate constant of the reactionwhich gives the product from the activated reaction is givenas
119896 =119896119861119879
ℎexp(Δ119878
119877) exp(minusΔ119867
119877119879) (16)
which can be rewritten as follows
(119877119879 ln 119896119861
119879
ℎ) minus 119877119879 ln 119896 = Δ119867 minus 119879Δ119878 (17)
Δ119867 = 120573Δ119878 minus 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (18)
By comparing (15) and (18)
119886 = 120573 119887 = 119877120573 ln( 119896ℎ119896119861120573) (19)
The enthalpy-entropy compensation points out that thevariations of ΔH in (18) are compensated by variations inΔS
When the experimental temperature 119879 lt 120573 the reactionrate or equilibrium is mainly by the enthalpy change In thisregion the reaction with the lowest activation energy willreact fast and the interpretation involved in potential energysurfaces can be made At temperatures above 120573 however thecontrolling factor is 120575ΔS and interpretations based uponpotential energy surfaces would obviously be in error Ingeneral it is found that the electronic effects are containedin the enthalpy factor and that many solvent effects are dueto the entropy factor Activation energy is the highest for theslowest reaction and vice-versa (Table 4) and the value of 120573obtained is higher than the experimental temperature whichclearly indicates that the reaction is enthalpy controlled inthe present case This result also implies that the family ofreactions proceeds through same mechanistic pathways
317 Relative Reactivity of the Substrates From the rate data(Table 4) the rate of oxidation of cephalosporins was foundto follow the order cephradinegt cefadroxilgt cephalexinThistrend can be explained as in Figure 7
In Structure I (cephradine) there is no 120587 cloud inter-action with lone pair of electrons of sulphur atom of thesubstrate which makes the sulphur atom more reactiveto undergo oxidation at a faster rate The Structure II(cefadroxil) might get converted into quinonoid forms (IIa)or (IIb) which results in less reactivity towards sulphur andhence the rate of oxidation is slower than cephradine In

318 Activation Parameters Theproposedmechanism is alsosupported by the moderate values of energy of activationand other thermodynamic parameters The large negativevalues of ΔS indicate the formation of a more ordered rigidassociative transition state in each case The high positivevalues of free energy of activation indicate that the transitionstate is highly solvatedThe near constancy of ΔG shows theoperation of an identical mechanism in the oxidation of allthe three substrates of the present study
4 Conclusions
Based on the experimental results the following conclusiveremarks can be acquired
Oxidation of all three drugs follows identical kinetics witha rate law Rate = 1198961015840[CAT][S][OHminus]119909 and here 119909 lt 1From the inspection of rate data the rate of oxidation of drugsfollows the order cephradine gt cefadroxil gt cephalexin
The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1 2 andoxidation products were confirmed bymass spectral analysisActivation parameters and isokinetic temperature indicatesthat the reaction is enthalpy controlled and all the three drugsreact with CAT via the same mechanism A suitable schemeand relevant rate law have been worked out
