• OXIDATIVE PATHWAYS: A SYSTEMATIC EXPLORATION OF KINETICS AND MECHANISM IN ALKALINE KMNO4 OXIDATION OF D-SORBITOL AND D-DULCITOL

  Dayo Akinola

  The kinetics and mechanism of alkaline KMnO4 oxidation of D-sorbitol and D-dulcitol were investigated in this study. The oxidation reactions of sugar alcohols were studied using potassium permanganate in alkaline medium. The kinetics of the reaction were found to be inverse first order with
