Abstract:In this work, kinetics and mechanism of Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of cyclohexanone by acidified solution of potassium bromate has been studied. Present study employ mercuric acetate Hg (OAc) 2 as a scavenger for Br − ion to prevent parallel oxidation by bromine. The kinetics and mechanism have also been studied in the temperature range of 30˚C-45˚C. The reaction exhibits first order kinetics with respect to Ru (III), while zero order kinetics with respect to KBrO 3 and HClO 4. The influence of Hg(OAc) 2 and … Show more
