Abstract

A kinetic study of the oxidation of allyl alcohol by copper (II) acetate in the presence of palladium (II) chloride is reported. The progress of the reaction was observed by measuring the disappearance of copper (II) acetate concentration spectrophotometrically. The reaction is first order with respect to allyl alcohol and palladium (II) chloride, inverse first order with respect to [Cl-] and zero order with respect to copper (II) acetate. The rate is found to increase linearly with acetic acid concentration
