Notes:
The kinetics of the reaction between glycolaldehyde (GA) and tetrachloroaurate(III) in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer has been studied. The reaction is first-order with respect to [AuIII] as well as [GA]. Both H+ and Cl- ions retard the rate of reaction. AuCl4-, AuCl3(OH2), and AuCl3(OH)- are the reactive species of gold(III) with gradually increasing reactivity. A reaction mechanism involving two-electron transfer rate determining steps has been proposed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 613-619, 1998
