The rate law for oxidation of 2-propanol by chromic acid in aqueous acetone solutions has been found to be V = k3 [Cr(VI)| [2-propanol]ho, with the magnitude of k3 being over 700 times as great in 93.3% acetone as it is in water. In other respects (primary deuterium isotope effect, Hammett "rho" value, and salt effects) the general features of the reaction strongly resemble those observed in aqueous acetic acid solutions.
