Kinetics of oxidation of monohydric aliphatic alcohols by ozone

Abstract

The influence of the structure of aliphatic alcohols on their reactivity with respect to ozone is an area that has remained practically uninvestigated. At the same time, the appropriate data may provide valuable information on the mechanism of this reaction. Here we are reporting on a kinetic study of the interaction of 03 with monohydric aliphatic alcohols (ROH) in the examples of methanol (I), ethanol (II), l-propanol (III), 2-propanol (IV), lbutanol (V), 2-butanol (VI), 2-methyl-l-propanol (VII), 2-chloroethanol (VIII), 1,3-dichloro2-propanol (IX), and l-chloro-2-propanol (X) in solutions of CC14 and H20 at 9-60~
