Abstract

The oxidative behaviour of glycolaldehyde towards hexacynoferrate(III) in alkaline medium has been investigated. The reaction obeys the following rate expression:

where k3 = 100.0 ± 2 mol^–2 dm⁶s^–1 at 298 K. The values of ΔH^≠ and ΔS^≠ are 51 ± 4 kJ mol^–1 and –35 ± 13 JK^–1 mol^–1 respectively. The reactions appear to proceed through the intermediate formation of alkoxide ion to glyoxal.
