Kinetics of Oxidation of Unsaturated Acid by Thallium(iii) in Aqueous Acetic Acid and Micellar Medium
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The oxidation of α-crotonic acid by thallium (III) perchlorate proceeds by a mechanism approach involving direct two-electron transfer with lack of free radical intervention from substrate to the oxidant via an intermediate complex. The stoichiometry (1:1) of the reaction followed by its decomposition in a rate-determining step to product acetaldehyde. The orders in oxidant and acid were found to be unity, whereas solvent, micellar (CTAB) exhibited fraction-order kinetics. The activation parameters were also discussed.
