- Department of Chemistry, Government Science College, Gwalior-471 001 (M.P.) Manuscript received 19 March. 1977, revised 14 December 1977, accepted 14 April 1978 The kinetics of the oxidation of cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone and cyclooctanone by selenium dioxide in 50% (v/v) acetic acid water mixtures has been reported. A first order dependence in each selenium dioxide and ketone have been observed. The rate of the oxidation reaction has been found to be accelerated by the increase in the mineral acid concentrations. The effects of solvent, solvent isotope, temperature, etc. on the rate of oxidation have been studied in detail to determine bimolecular oxidation. The values of energy of activation, the entropy of activation and frequency factor for the reaction have been evaluated.
