Summary:
The kinetics of N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine with monochloramine were investigated using spectrophotometric techniques. The oxidation proceeds by two sequential steps each involving one hydrogen atom. The starting material N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine and the first oxidation product are both involved in acid-base equilibria which result in a complex dependence of the reaction rate on hydrogen ion concentration. The reactions were found to follow pseudo second order kinetics, first order with respect to each reactant, at a specific pH. In the presence of excess N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine the formation of a dimer was observed. Mechanisms consistent with the experimental data are proposed.
