ABSTRACT:

The Kinetics of the oxidation of benzaldoxime by pyridinium fluorochromate has been studied in acetic acid medium. The reaction has unit dependence on each of the PFC [H+] and first order with respect to substrate. The effect of temperature, solvent and neutral salt has been studied. The rate increases with increase in concentration of hydrogen ions, the activation energy and other thermodynamic parameters are determined and a posible mechanism has been proposed.
