Abstract :

The oxidation of methanol and ethanol by ceric ammonium nitrate has been studied spectrophotometrically in the presence of glacial acetic acid in acetonitrile as solvent. The reaction is first order with respect to oxidant and [H⁺]. Michaelis–Menten type kinetics is observed. The reactions exhibits positive polymerization test. The activation parameters have been evaluated.
