Notes:
Pyridiniumchlorochromate (PCC) oxidizes aniline and substituted anilines except nitro anilines smoothly in chlorobenzene-nitrobenzene mixtures in the presence of dichloroacetic acid. The reaction has unit dependence on each of the aniline, PCC, and dichloroacetic acid concentrations. Electron-releasing substituents accelerate the reaction, whereas electronwithdrawing groups retard the reaction, and the rate data obey Hammett's relationship. The reaction constant ρ is -3.75. Azobenzene and p-benzoquinone have been obtained as products. The observed experimental data have been rationalized in terms of the formation of an intermediate complex involving PCC-amine undergoing a rapid decomposition to products.
