The nicotinium dichromate (NDC) oxidation of anilines, in varying mole fractions of benzene/2- methylpropan-2-ol mixtures, in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) is first order in NDC and TsOH and zero order with respect to anilines in the concentration range investigated. The NDC oxidation of 15 meta- and para-substituted anilines complies with the isokinetic relationship but not to any of the linear free energy relationships. The activation free energy data failed to correlate with macroscopic solvent parameters such as εr and ENT. Correlation of ΔG# with Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic parameters (α, β , π*) suggests that the specific solute-solvent-solvent interactions play a major role in governing the reactivity.

Abstract The catalytic properties of the first generation catalyst meso-tetraphenylporphyriniron(III) chloride and magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (MMPP) as oxidant have been studied in the oxidation of aniline and its substituents in acetic acid medium. The thermodynamic parameters for the oxidation have been determined and discussed. It confirms the Exner relationship (only at the low range of temperatures) and also some of the activation parameters to the isokinetic relationships. The magnesium monoperoxyphthalate oxidation with 18 ortho- meta- and para-substituted anilines fulfills with isokinetic relationship but not to any of the linear free energy relationships. The reaction mechanism and the rate law were proposed.
