ABSTRACT
The kinetics of dimerisation of benzylamine by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Fe (II) ions have been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to both benzylamine and Fe (II) ions and zero order with respect to hydrogen peroxide. The energy of activation has been calculated to be 68.38 ± 0.01 kJ mol-1. The rate law has been derived from our proposed reaction mechanism.
