Abstract
Under pseudo 1st order reaction condition cyclohexanol, an alicyclic alcohol produces cyclohexanone with a moderate rate of oxidation. Promoters and surfactants enhanced the rate of oxidation with chromic acid. The product is confirmed by melting point study; 2, 4 DNP test; IR and NMR study. Among the three micellar catalyst SDS shows higher rate where as phen promoted reaction shows smaller half life. Combination of SDS and bpy shows a 600 fold enhancement in the rate of the reaction. NMR study is also carried out to confirm the interaction between the surfactants and cyclohexanol.
