Abstract :

The present paper describe the kinetic study of oxidation of butan–1–ol and butan–2–ol by Pyridiniumchlorochromate at 308K spectophotometrically in acetonitrile. The reaction shows first order dependence with respect to [PCC],[Substrate] and [H⁺]. The rate of oxidation increases with decrease in dielectric constant of solvent. Activation parameter have been evaluated. A mechanism consistent with experimental observation has been proposed.
