We employ reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography to quantitatively characterize the oxidation kinetics of thiourea oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. The HPLC technique makes it possible to monitor the concentrations of a variety of sulfur-containing species with different oxidation states and to elucidate the relative phase relations among them. The experimental results are in good agreement with simulations from an 8-step reaction mechanism.
