A Seminar was held in Department of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy, entitled (kinetic study of oxidation of proline by N-bromosuccinimde using Pd+2 as a catalyst in base media) Professor of physical pharmacy Dr. Noori Y. Salman Alankushe , reviewed the nature of oxidation of the amino-acid by N-bromosuccinimde (NBrS) which was was carried out at pH equal to 11, first order reaction was observed. Slight increases was noticed in the rate of reaction with increasing the concentration of palladium ion. Low retard effect of addition succinimide to the reaction. NBrSH and NBRS were suggested to be the reactive species of N-bromosuccinimide. An intermediates compounds have been found. A reaction mechanism for the oxidation reaction was suggested.
