Abstract
When tartaric acid is oxidized by thallium (III) in the presence of uranium (IV), it is converted to glyoxal (C 2H 2O 2) and carbon dioxide. If sufficient thallium (III) is present all of the tartaric acid is oxidized. In the absence of uranium (IV) tartaric acid is oxidized only very slowly, but in the presence of uranium (IV) its oxidation rate is comparable to the rate of oxidation of uranium (IV) itself. It appears that U(IV)-tartaric acid complexes form which facilitate both the oxidation of tartaric acid and uranium (IV).
