Kinetics of Oxidation of trans‐2‐Chlorocyclohexanol with Bromine

Abstract The kinetics of oxidation of ttans ‐2‐chlorocyclohexanol with bromine has been studied at 40°C. The reaction has been found to obey second order kinetics, with first order dependence on each reactant. The thermodynamic activation parameters are reported. A cyclic mechanism is suggested.
