The oxidation of phenol by Quinalidinum Cholorochromate (QuCC) has been studied spectrophotometrically at 316.4 nm in aqueous acetic acid medium. The kinetics of oxidation of phenol and effect of various factors on the rate of oxidation reaction was also studied. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to concentration of QuCC, phenol and with respect to acid concentration [H+]. The effect of ionic strength, solvent polarity was also studied on rate of reaction and the rate of oxidation reaction found to be increases with increase in ionic strength and at low dielectric constant of the medium. The main oxidation product of phenol has been identified as corresponding 1-4 benzoquinone
