The kinetics of oxidation of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives by Quinoxalinium dichromate has been studied in the solvent of dimethyl sulfoxide and in the presence of acid. The products of oxidation are the corresponding benzaldehydes. The rate of the reaction is dependent on the concentration of the substrate, Quinoxalinium dichromate and acid. Electron - releasing substituents increase the rate, while electron - withdrawing substituents decrease it and thus, the rate data obeys Hammett's relationship. A suitable mechanism has been proposed.
