Kinetics study on oxidation reaction of anethole to anisaldehyde by ceric sulfate

Anisaldehyde was synthesized and charcaterized.Rate constants of oxidation reaction of anethole to anisaldehyde by Ceric Sulfate at different temperature(15-35℃)were measured.The rate equation,d/dt=k[Ce~(4+)]and apparent activation energy(51.12 KJ/mol)of the reaction were found.
