Abstract

Kinetics of oxidation of benzyl ethers by N-chloronicotinamide (NCN) in aqueous acetic acid medium have been investigated by potentiometric method. The observed rate of oxidation is first order in both [NCN] and [benzyl ethers]. An increase in the dielectric constant of the medium increases the rate. Addition of nicotinamide (NA), the reduction product of NCN, have a negligible effect on the rate of oxidation. A small increase in the rate is observed with increase in [HClO 4 ] and [NaCl]. Benzaldehyde is identified as the major product of oxidation.
