The Ru(III) catalysed oxidation kinetics of de-protonation from α-C-H bond of enol ethylacetoacetate by Isoquinolinium chlorochromate (IQCC) has been studied in aqueous acetic acid medium The Ru(III) chloride was not only catalyse the reaction but able to form complex with protonated species of IQCC and substrate in pre-equilibrium state. The reaction proceeds stoichiometrically (2:3) and followed by decomposition of a cyclic chromate ester complex in rate-determining slow process to α, β-diketo butyric acid as product. The rate was found proportional to [IQCC]. The reaction exhibited fractional-order kinetics each duo to acid and substrate. The derived rate law was strictly in conformity with postulated mechanism.
