M. Deka et J. Dziegiec, OXIDATION OF SOME ALIPHATIC AND CYCLIC DIOLS WITH CERIUM(IV) IN PERCHLORIC-ACID SOLUTIONS, Kinetics and catalysis, 39(3), 1998, pp. 320-325
The rates of oxidation of 1,5-pentanediol and 1,8-octanediol with ceri
um(IV) as well as the quantity of cerium(IV) reduced by tl aits-l,2-cy
clohexanediol in aqueous solutions of perchloric acid as a function of
time were estimated. The stoichiometry of the processes was determine
d, and both intermediate and final products of oxidation were identifi
ed. Plausible reaction mechanisms were proposed.
