Potassium ferrate of known purity was used to oxidize three alcohols (propanol-2, 1,1,1-trifluoropropanol-2, and 1,1,1,3,3,3- hexafluoropropanol-2) in 8 ~ potassium hydroxide, and a series of substituted phenyltrifluoromethyl carbinols (m-nitrophenyl-, m-bromophenyl-, p-methylphenyl-, and unsubstituted) in 0.5 ~potassium hydroxide and 3.5 ~potassium fluoride. The reactions were found to obey pseudofirst order kinetics and shown to be first order in ferrate ion and first order in alkoxy i on (ionized carbinol or alcohol); acetone production I from the oxidation of propanol-2 al so followed first order kinetics; oxygen evolution was 3/2 order· in some reactive intermediate, other than iron-VI. Deuterium isotope effects show …
