Ga. Hiremath et al., OXIDATION OF ALLYL ALCOHOL BY ALKALINE PERIODATE IN THE PRESENCE OF MICRO-AMOUNTS OF PALLADIUM(II), Journal of physical organic chemistry, 11(1), 1998, pp. 31-35
The oxidation of allyl alcohol by alkaline species of periodate, H2IO6
3-, was found to be catalysed by micro amounts of Pd(II) in 0.2 mol dm
(-3) alkali solution. The active species of the catalyst was found to
be PdCl+. A mechanism involving the interaction of the catalyst and su
bstrate in prior equilibria leading to the formation of a pi-complex i
s proposed and the rate is derived. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
