Oxidation of Ethyl -2-Chloropropionate by Potassium permanganate in acidicMedia : A Kinetic and Mechanistic Study
The kinetic of oxidation of Ethyl 2 cholopropionate by potassium permagnate has been studied in the presence of acidic medium. The reaction is first order with respect to ester concentration. The reaction rate has been determined at different temperature and different thermodynamic parameters have been calculated which shows with increase in temperature reaction rate increases. With increase in the concentration of acid the reaction rate increase. A suitable mechanism has been proposed
