Kinetics of oxidation of methyl digol and ethyl digol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate (III) ion with ruthenium (III) chlorides as a homogeneous catalyst
Chemical Laboratories, University of Allahabad, Allahabad-211002, India.
The ruthenium(IIl) chloride catalysed reactions of alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) with methyl digol and ethyl digol were investigated kinetically. An inner sphere mechanism involving complex formation between digol molecule and ruthenium(III) species, which then disproportionates to carbonium ion and ruthenium(III) hydride is suggested. The carbonium ion results the corresponding aldehyde with one molecule of hydroxide ion where as ruthenium(III) hydride undergoes rapid oxidation with hexacynoferrate(III) yielding origina ruthenium(III) species and hexacyanoferrate(II) ion.
Résumé
Étude cinétique de la réaction d’un hexacyanoferrate(III) alcalin, catalysée par le chlorure de ruthénium(III), sur le méthyl-digol et l’éthyl-digol. On suggère un mécanisme de sphère interne, faisant intervenir un complexe ruthénium(III)-digol, qui se dismuterait ensuite en ion carbonium et hydrure de ruthénium(III). L’ion carbonium forme l’aldéhyde correspondant par réaction avec un ion hydroxyde, tandis que l'hydrure de ruthénium(III), oxydé par l’hexacyanoferrate(III), fournit de l'hexacyanoferrate(III) et le composé de Ru(III) initial.
