Kinetic Investigation of Thermal Decomposition Reactions of 4'-Demethypodophyllotoxin and Podophyllotoxin

Article Preview

Abstract:

The thermal behavior and thermal decomposition kinetic parameters of podophyllotoxin (PPT) and 4-demethypodophyllotoxin (DMPPT) in a temperature-programmed mode have been investigated by means of DSC and TG-DTG. The kinetic model functions in differential and integral forms of the thermal decomposition reactions mentioned above for leading stage were established. The kinetic parameters of the apparent activation energy Ea and per-exponential factor A were obtained from analysis of the TG-DTG curves by integral and differential methods. The most probable kinetic model function of both decomposition reactions in differential form was (1-α) 2. The values of Ea indicated that the reactivity of PPT was higher than that of DMPPT in the thermal decomposition reaction. The values of the entropy of activation ΔS, enthalpy of activation ΔH and free energy of activation ΔG of the reactions were estimated.
