Abstract

Oxygen oxidation of the styrene epoxide (SE)–p-toluene sulfonic acid (TSA) double system (DS)in solutions of three primary alcohols, 1-octanol (OCT), n-butanol (BUT), and ethanol (ET), is studied. Thecorresponding concentration expressions of oxidation rates are as follows: VOCT = k [SE]0 [TSA]1, VBUT = k[SE]0 [TSA]0.63, and VET = k [SE]0 [TSA]0.7 at [SE] [TSA]. The proximity of the oxidation activation energiesin three alcohols contrasts with the difference in the oxidation rates: the oxidation rate in ET is threetimes the rate in n-butanol and thirty times the oxidation rate in 1-octanol.
