Abstract

Quinolinium dichromate in sulfuric acid oxidized heterocyclic aldehydes (to the corresponding
acids) and heterocyclic carboxylic acids (to the corresponding hydroxy-substituted acids) in acetic acidwater
medium (vol. ratio, v(water)/v(acetic acid) = 50:50). The kinetic results supported a mechanistic
pathway proceeding via a rate-determining decomposition of the chromate ester.
