Abstract
As various organic compounds were oxidized by cobaltic acetate in acetic acid solution in the absence of oxygen, the influence of substrate specificity on the reaction mechanism and reactivity was investigated, The reduction rate of Co(III)in the oxidation of various substrate having electrons obeyed the following equation (Figs.2, 3, 5, 6 and 7):d(C 1III) K. b, . (RHCo(M))2(C, (III))Since this equation was similar to the rate equation of the oxidation of toluene and its homologue by Co(III), various compounds would beoxidized by cobaltic acetate via reversible one electron transfer process. Kebs, was not affected by CewH bond dissociation energy of substrate but would be correlated with the ceordinatien ability of substrate to cobaltic ion and with ionization potential of substrate (Tables 1, 2 and 3).
