Kinetic Isotope Effects in the Chromium(VI) Oxidation of Bicyclic Alcohols

J. Hodge Markgraf, Jordan S. Dubow, Jessica A. Charland and Elliott H. Sohn


Pseudo first-order rate constants are determined for the oxidation of a series of secondary alcohols and their monodeutero analogues by ammonium chromate in aqueous acidic solution at several temperatures; the relative rates and activation parameters are consistent with a cyclic, symmetrical transition state.
