Abstract

Abstract Kinetic data on the rates of quinolinium dichromate oxidation of some bicyclic alcohols are reported and discussed with reference to the factors that influence the nature of the transition state. The mechanistic pathway has been visualized via the formation of the intermediate chromic ester which undergoes decomposition to give the product. A cyclic transition state is suggested; being a Hückel-type system (4n + 2), this would be an allowed process.
