Study of Oxidative Degradation of Anthranilic Acid by Di-tertiary Butyl Chromate

Di-tertiary butyl chromate has been used to oxidize anthranilic acid in different molar proportions and the solid products obtained have been isolated and analyzed. Elemental analysis, IR and thermal studies have been carried out. Results of thermogravimetric analysis have been used to ascertain the proposed composition. Characterization of these complexes helps in ascertaining the products formed by the oxidation of anthranilic acid.
