Abstract

In present investigation we are studied the kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of ester by potassium permanganate in acid medium. In the present paper we reported the effect of oxidant (KMnO4), effect of substrate (ester), effect of sulphuric acid and effect of temperature on oxidation of ester. The reaction is first order with respect to oxidant and substrate.
