Abstract

The kinetics of the chromic acid oxidation of 1-naphthyl and 2-naphthyl methyl carbinols have been investigated. 2-Naphthyl methyl carbinol reacts at a faster rate than the 1-naphthyl isomer. This is attributed to a peri-interaction in the transition state of the latter compound. The thermodynamic parameters have also been evaluated for the reactions.
