ABSTRACT

Study of oxidation of some alkanone by isoquinolinium chlorochromate (IQCC) in aqueous acetic acid leads to the formation of corresponding some alkanedione with isoquinolinium. The reaction is first order with respect to both some alkanone and IQCC and is catalyzed by hydrogen ion. The rate of oxidation decreases with increasing dielectric constant of solvent, indicating the presence of an ion-dipole interaction. The rate of oxidation decreases with increase in concentration of KCl.

Key words: Kinetics, Oxidation, Isoquinolinium chlorochromate, some alkanone.
