Abstract
Abstract The kinetics of the liquid-phase autoxidation of acrolein were studied using di-t-butyl diperoxyoxalate as an initiator. The ratios of the rate constants for the propagation vs the termination steps (k3k6−1⁄2 and k2k4−1⁄2) in the autoxidation mechanism were determined from the empirical rate equation thus obtained. The lower reactivity of acrolein was explained by comparing the ratios with those of saturated aldehydes.
