CATALYTIC CONUNDRUM: ALKALINE MEDIUM MN(VII) OXIDATION INSIGHTS WITH D-SORBITOL AND D-DULCITOL – UNMASKING SUBSTRATE INHIBITION
Oluwafemi Adekunle
Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, serve as valuable sugar substitutes due to their similar sensory properties to sugars, but with reduced calorie content and fewer negative health effects. Unlike traditional sugars, sugar alcohols are not completely absorbed into the bloodstream, making them a healthier alternative for managing blood sugar levels and protecting against tooth decay. This study focuses on the oxidation kinetics and mechanisms of two specific sugar alcohols, D-sorbitol and D-dulcitol, by alkaline KMnO4, shedding light on their reactivity and potential applications

The ultrasonic study of liquid mixtures has emerged as a crucial tool for unraveling the intricacies of molecular interactions and elucidating the physicochemical behavior of these systems. Over the past three decades, researchers have harnessed this approach to delve into the thermodynamic and transport properties of liquid mixtures, which has not only provided insights into their deviation from ideal behavior but has also shed light on the intermolecular interactions within these complex systems. In particular, excess thermodynamic functions have played a pivotal role in this endeavor, demonstrating their sensitivity to variations in both intermolecular forces and molecular size. Fundamental properties...
