Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Aliphatic Aldehydes by Benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide

Abstract

The oxidation of aliphatic aldehydes by benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide involves the formation of an intermediate complex and its subsequent decomposition in the rate-determining step to the corresponding carboxylic acid.
