The oxidation of methionine (MTN) by benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide (BTMAB), in 1:1 aqueous acetic acid, gives the corresponding sulfoxide. The reaction is first order with respect to each the methionine and BTMAB. The oxidation of MTN in an atm. of N, failed to induce the polymerization of acrylonitrile. An addition of benzyltrimethylammonium chloride has no effect on the rate of oxidation The rates of oxidation were determined at different temperatures and the activation parameters were calculated The reaction rate increases with an increase in the polarity of the medium. Tribromide ion is postulated as the reactive oxidizing species. Suitable mechanism for the reaction is postulated.
