Abstract A method for the direct determination of rubber is reported. This method utilizes the property of rubber hydrocarbon when oxidized by chromic acid to form definite and reproducible amounts of acetic acid. This determination has been reduced to a comparatively simple laboratory procedure, whose accuracy (in the absence of interferences) is 1 to 2 per cent.

The rate law for oxidation of 2-propanol by chromic acid in aqueous acetone solutions has been found to be V = k3 [Cr(VI)| [2-propanol]ho, with the magnitude of k3 being over 700 times as great in 93.3% acetone as it is in water. In other respects (primary deuterium isotope effect, Hammett "rho" value, and salt effects) the general features of the reaction strongly resemble those observed in aqueous acetic acid solutions.

The mechanism of the chromic acid oxidation of eight aryltrmuoromethylcarbinols has been studied in acetic acid solution. Electron-donating substituents accelerate the reaction and a good correlation of rate with σ+ values has been found. The rho value is −1.01. Deuterium isotope effects for the oxidation of five of these compounds have been determined and the magnitude of the isotope effect has been found to correlate inversely with the ease of oxidation of the alcohol.The results are interpreted in terms of a unimolecular decomposition of the chromate ester of the alcohol.
