KINETICS OF OXIDATION OF AROMATIC ANIL BY PYRIDINIUM DICHROMATE - STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OXIDANTS AND SUBSTRATE

The kinetic study of simple and substituted anils ware studied under various conditions viz., solvent ,oxidants , electrolyte , catalysts and mixture of catalysts and temperature; simple and substituted anils , pyridinium Chloro Chromate (PCC) ,Pyridinium Dichromate ( PDC) were prepared in the laboratory and kinetic study were carried out. The graphs were drawn at all relevant places and results were obtained in full satisfaction. Chromium ( VI oxidations are usually performed under acidic condition . Co - solvents like ( Jone's reagent ) benzene , methylenechloride ( Two Phase system ) are often added in order to deal with water insoluble organic complexes . The oxidation rate is generally high under acid catalysed conditions , however the low pH of the reaction medium and the presence of water favouring hydrolytic condition exclude the use of this class of reagents for the oxidation of molecules containing acid sensitive groups. Polymer supported Chromium ( VI) reagents have also been developed. These reagents offer the advantage of reducing the work of procedure to more filtration . Recently some neutral or almost neutral Chromium (VI) reagents have been developed to effect oxidation under mild conditions. Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC) introduced by Covey et al 3
