Abstract
The oxidation of glycine by permanganate ions was studied in a buffered solution at pH 2.2. An autocatalytic reaction was observed, autocatalyzed by a soluble form of Mn(IV). Autocatalytic S-shaped kinetic curves were obtained by the spectrophotometric method and characterized by the time ti vs concentration in the inflection point.
Keywords: Permanganate Oxidation; Glycine; Autocatalysis; Intermediate Mn(IV).
