The kinetics of reaction between & 𝓁-leucine and 𝓁- valine and 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin have been studied in aqueous media yielding aliphatic aldehydes as the final products by oxidative cleavage. The observed order of reactivity 𝓁-leucine > 𝓁-valine was explained on the basis of steric and inductive effect. Reaction mechanism and rate law supported by thermodynamic parameters was discussed.
