| Popis: | Oxidation of secondary alcohols is an important part of synthetic organic chemistry. Various studies are carried out at different reaction conditions to determine the best mechanistic pathways. In our study, oxidation of different secondary alcohols was done by using Benzimidazolium Fluorochromate in Dimethyl Sulphoxide, which is a non-aqueous solvent. Oxidation resulted in the formation of ketonic compounds. The reaction showed first order kinetics both in BIFC and in the alcohols. Hydrogen ions were used to catalyze the reaction. We selected four different temperatures to carry out our study. The correlation within the activation parameters like enthalpies and entropies was in accordance with the Exnerʼs criterion. The deuterated benzhydrol (PhCDOHPh) oxidation exhibited an important primary kinetic isotopic effect (kH / kD = 5.76) at 298 K. The solvent effect was studied using the multiparametric equations of Taft and Swain. There was no effect of addition of acrylonitrile on the oxidation rate. The mechanism involved sigmatropic rearrangement with the transfer of hydrogen ion taking place from alcohol to the oxidant via a cyclic chromate ester formation. |
