Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of aliphatic acetals with peroxomonosulphate

The oxidation of fifteen aliphatic acetals of normal aliphatic aldehydes and substituted aliphatic aldehydes with aliphatic and substituted aliphatic as well as with aromatic alcohols by peroxomonosulphate in aqueous acetic acid medium is first order each in [oxidant] and [acetal] and yields the corresponding esters as the main product. The oxidation reaction is independent of change in dielectric constant of the medium. The activation enthalpies and entropies of the reactions are linearly related. A mechanism involving hydride ion shift is proposed.
