Three-electron oxidation. XIV. Carbon-13 isotope effect in the three-electron cooxidation of isopropyl alcohol and oxalic acid

  • 1. Univ. of Illinois, Chicago

Description

Two mechanisms are proposed for the cooxidation of oxalic acid and isopropyl alcohol by chromium(VI). The results of the 13C-isotope effect studies on the mechanism demonstrate the presence of a significant carbon isotope effect. This 13C-isotope effect together with a previously established deuterium isotope effect is taken as providing compelling evidence for the synchronous C--H and C--C bond breaking and thus for a three electron mechanism in the cooxidation reaction
