Abstract
The oxidative behaviours and relative reactivities of some alkanols and aryl alcohols towards bis(dihydrogentellurato)metallate(III) ion (where M = CuIII and AgIII) in alkaline medium have been investigated. The reactions are first-order in each [R1R2CHOH] and [MIII(H2TeO6)2]5– but the rate is independent of [OH–]. The activation parameters of the reactions have been computed. The unsubstituted benzyl alcohol reacts at a faster rate than benzhydrol. The influence of o, m and p substituents on the rate for benzyl alcohol have been examined. The mechanism of the reactions is discussed.
