KINETICS OF N-OXIDATION OF COMPOUNDS OF THE QUINOLINE SERIES AND ISOMERIC BENZOQUINOLINES BY PERBENZOIC ACID IN CHLOROFORM AND AQUEOUS DIOXANE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00507096

The kinetics of the N-oxidation with perbenzoic acid of 15 derivatives of quinoline and benzoquinoline in chloroform and 19 compounds in 50percent aqueous dioxane at 20, 25, 30, and 35 deg C were subjected to a comparative study.The rate constants, parameters of Arrhenius equation, and the activation energies for the N-oxidation of the indicated monoazines were determined.A scale of the reactivities of derivatives of the quinoline series and benzoquinolines was calculated within the framework of general perturbation theory.
