S. Goel et al., KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF THE OXIDATION OF PRIMARY ALIPHATIC-ALCOHOLSBY BENZYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM TRIBROMIDE, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (5), 1996, pp. 230-231
The oxidation of primary alcohols by benzyltrimethylammonium tribromid
e involves the formation of an intermediate complex and its subsequent
decomposition in the rate-determining step to an aldehyde.
