Abstract
Oxidation of propanol by chromic acid produces propionaldehyde under kinetic condition [propanol]T≫[Cr(VI)]T. This oxidation reaction is performed also in presence of micellar catalysts (anionic, cationic and neutral) and hetero-aromatic nitrogen bases promoters (picolinic acid, 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline) in aqueous media. The product is confirmed by 2,4-DNP test and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), neutral surfactant triton X-100 (TX-100) accelerated the reaction both in presence and absence of promoters whereas cationic surfactant N-cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) inhibited the reaction. Combination of SDS and bipy is found to be the most efficient for this oxidation.
