The rate law for oxidation of 2-propanol by chromic acid in aqueous acetone solutions has been found to be V = k3 [Cr(VI):I[2-propanollho, with the magnitude of k3 being over 700 times as great in 93.3% acetone as it is in water. In other respects (primary deuterium isotope effect, Hammett "rho" value, and salt effects) the general features of the reaction strongly resemble those observed in aqueous acetic acid solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
