Abstract:  Kinetic parameters4 were determined for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, allylbenzene, cumene, and methyl benzyl ketone, respectively; donor-acceptor association equilibria accompanying these oxidations were examined. Thermodynamic kinetic parameters of the studied reactions obey the straight-line dependence of the Ĺeffler correlation. The Leffler correlation lines can be plotted even for organic compounds oxidations induced by other oxidation agents, the position of the correlation line being dependent upon the redox potential of the agent.
