Abstract

Kinetics of oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols by diethylammonium chlorochromate (DEACC) has been studied in aqueous-acetic acid medium. The oxidation of various primary as well as secondary alcohols by DEACC resulted in the formation of corresponding aldehydes and ketones respectively in good yields. The reaction is first order in DEACC and Michaelis-Menten type in alcohols. The reaction is first order with respect to hydrogen ion concentration. A suitable mechanism of the reaction has also been proposed.
