Abstract
Mn(II) ion catalysis in the oxidation of lactic acid by chromic acid has been investigated between the pH range 2.0 to 4.0; [H+] = 0.1 to 0.4 and [H+] ≥1.1 M. Activation parameters for catalysed and uncatalysed reactions have been evaluated. While C—H bond rupture occurs in the uncatalysed reaction, the rate limiting step of the catalysed reaction involves C-C bond fission.
