UN-CATALYZED OXIDATION OF CYCLIC KETONES BY ALKALINE HEXACYANOFERRATE(III) - KINETIC EVIDENCE FOR THE FORMATION OF HYDRATES
Hydrate formation by cyclic ketones confirmed by kinetic and spectral studies shows reduction of hexacyanoferrate(III) after the slow step. Orders and rate constants were confirmed by various methods.
