The kinetics of the reaction between reserpine and potassium peroxodisulphate in acid media have been investigated.The results show two first-order (or pseudo-first-order) steps occuring in series.At the first step, 3-dehydroreserpine, a yellowish green fluorescence product, is obtained, which is afterwards oxidized to 3,5-tetradehydroreserpine, a product with blue fluorescence.These results have been compared with those obtained for other Rauwolfia alkaloids and oxidizing agents.
