Kinetic Investigation of Oxidation of Benzylidene Aniline by Benzimidazolium Fluorochromate

The kinetic investigation of oxidative reaction of benzylidene aniline (BA) by benzimidazolium fluorochromate (BIFC) in the medium of 50 % acetic acid. It was catalysed by perchloric acid at 303 K ± 0.2 K. This oxidation reaction is totally exhibiting third order kinetics - first order for BIFC and second order for BA. There is no significant effect of ionic strength on the increment concentration of sodium perchlorate. There is no effect on the addition of acrylonitrile due to absence of free radical mechanism. But, the reasonable retardation in the rate of reaction for the improvement of Mn2+ ion, which indicates the two-electron transfer in this oxidation. From the kinetic detections, the probable mechanism cum suitable rate law is derived.
