Kab. Ahamed, KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF ALIPHATIC ACETALS WITH N-CHLOROBENZAMIDE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 36(3), 1997, pp. 222-224
The oxidation kinetics of thirteen aliphatic acetals of normal aliphat
ic aldehydes and substituted aliphatic aldehydes with aliphatic and su
bstituted aliphatic as well as with aromatic alcohols by N-chlorobenza
mide (NCB) in aqueous acetic acid medium follows first order and zero
order dependence in [NCB] and [acetal] respectively and yields the cor
responding esters as the main product of oxidation. (H2OCl)(+) has bee
n postulated as the oxidizing species.
