The main product of the oxidation of secondary alcohol by ceric ammonium nitrate is the corresponding ketone.The reaction is of first-order with respect to the oxidant but exhibit a Michaelis-Menten type kinetics with respect to the alcohol.The formation constants of the alcohol-CeIV complex and its thermodynamic parameters have been calculated.The rate of decomposition of the complex and the activation parameters have also been evaluated.The rates of decomposition of the complex correlate with Taft's ?* values with a low negative reaction constant.The oxidation induced polymerisation of acrylonitrile.The retardation of rate with increasing acidity has been explained on the formation of kinetically inactive protonated alcohol.The protonated constants for the various alcohol have been calculated.The presence of a small primary kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD = 2.3, confirms that the rate-determining step involves a C-H bond rupture in a non-symmetrical transition state.
