Oxidation of benzyl alcohol by pyridinium dichromate in acetonitrile. Using the para/meta ratio of substituent effects for mechanism elucidation

Rate constants were measured for the oxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol and twenty-five ortho-, meta- and para-monosubstituted derivatives in the temperature range 293-323 K at intervals of 10 K. The kinetics were followed spectrophotometrically in dry acetonitrile acidified with trichloroacetic a...
