Abstract
Kinetic studies in the oxidation of n-butyl alcohol and amyl
alchohol with N-bromobenzamide has been made in aqueous acetic
acid in presence of mercuric acetate. The reaction is fIrst order, each
with respect to oxidant and substrate. Order with respect to
perchloric acid is fractional or fIrst order depending upon the substrate
concentration. Suggest protonation of the substrate in course
of reaction. A mechanism consistent with the result has been
proposed.
