The kinetics of the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by lead tetraacetate have been studied in benzene solution both in the absence and presence of pyridine.The values of the reaction constant ρ for the reactions in the absence and presence of pyridine at 303 K are -1.13 and -1.92 respectively.The activation enthalpies and entropies of the nine compounds are linearly related.The oxidation of α,α-dideuteriobenzyl alcohol indicated presence of a primary kinetic isotope effect.The reaction does not induce polymerisation of acrylonitrile.Probable mechanisms have been suggested.
