The oxidation of isopropyl alcohol by chromic acid is a reaction first order with respect to the acid chromate ion, HCrO4−, first order with respect to the alcohol, and second order with respect to hydrogen ion. Evidence has been obtained that the reaction proceeds by way of a compound of tetravalent or of pentavalent chromium. On the basis of these facts, a mechanism for the oxidation has tentatively been suggested.
