Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of acetophenone and six substituted acetophenones by Thallium (III) acetate have been studied in 95% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid. The reaction is first order with respect to the oxidant as well as the organic substrate and acid catalysed. The probable nature of Tl (III) species in aqueous acetic acid has been indicated. The rate data fitted well with Brown’sσ + values withρ + = −0.70. A mechanism for the Tl (III) oxidation of aromatic ketones has been proposed.
