Abstract:
The kinetics of benzimidazolium fluorochromate (BIFC) catalysed oxidation of indole-2-aldehyde (2-InA) with perchloric acid in 50% acetic acid–50% water solvent mixture at 303 K has been followed spectrophotometrically. The reaction is first order with respect to [BIFC], [2-InA] and [H+] and the reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. A suitable mechanism has been proposed.
Keywords:indole-2-aldehyde; benzimidazolium fluorochromate; oxidation; kinetics
