Reactivity and Oxidation Kinetics of Cyclic Ketones by Benzimidazolium Fluorochromate

The oxidation and mechanistic studies of cyclohexanone by (BIFC) benzimidazolium fluorochromate have been investigated in being of perchloric acid with binary compounds (acetic acid and water). Rate data interpret unit order dependence concerning both BIFC and H+ ions and fractional order concerning substrate. The rate of reactions increased with an increase in the portion of acetic acid. The hhydrogen ion concentration plays as a catalyst in the chemical reaction mixture. The gain of Mn2+ ions retard the reaction rate conforming bi-electron conveyance process in this reaction. The oxidation product 2-hydroxy cyclohexanone was identified. Based on kinetic studies and pproduct analysis; enthalpy, entropy, free energy and energy of activation have been calculated and the pprobable mechanism was discussed. Furthermore, some of the cyclic ketones were used to check the reactivity. Its reactivity of the cyclic ketones viz., cyclohexanone < cycloheptanone < cyclopentanone < cyclooctanone.
