The effect of solvent on the kinetics of the oxidation of benzaldehydes by quinolinium chlorochromate in aqueous organic solvent media
The kinetics of the oxidation of benzaldehyde and para-substituted benzaldehydes by quinolinium chlorochromate in water-dimethylformamide mixtures has been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions at 25±0.2°C. The operation of non-specific and specific solvent-solute interactions was explored by...

| Summary: | The kinetics of the oxidation of benzaldehyde and para-substituted benzaldehydes by quinolinium chlorochromate in water-dimethylformamide mixtures has been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions at 25±0.2°C. The operation of non-specific and specific solvent-solute interactions was explored by correlating the rate data with solvent parameters through a correlation analysis technique. Both electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing substitutents enhance the rate of oxidation and the Hammett plot shows a break in the reactivity order indicating the applicability of a dual mechanism. |
