The kinetics of oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BzOH) by benzimidazolium fluorochromate (BIFC) has been studied in 50% aqueous acetic acid medium at 308 K. The reaction is first order with respect to [oxidant] and [benzyl alcohol]. The reaction is catalysed by hydrogen ions. The decrease in dielectric constant of the medium increases the rate of the reaction. Addition of sodium perchlorate increases the rate of the reaction appreciably. No polymerization with acrylonitrile. The reaction has been conducted at four different temperature and the activation parameters were calculated. From the observed kinetic results a suitable mechanism was proposed.

The kinetics of slurry phase air oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde over zirconium vanadate catalyst is reported in this study. Initial rates for the formation of product were determined by varying the partial pressures of the reactants. The data collected were found to satisfy a rate law: R = [(k1PBk2Po)/(k1PB + k2Po)]. The study suggests that reaction follows a Mars-Van Krevelen type of redox mechanism.
