Abstract

The corresponding aldehydes products were obtained when N-chloroisonicotinamide is reduced by unsaturated acids (α-crotonic acid and cinnamic acid) stoichiometrically (1:2) under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction is believed to be initiated by formation of complex at transition state. The rate of reaction exhibits fractional-order kinetics with respect to acid. The involvement of a non-free radical process is believed to be indicated by the formation of polymer during the oxidation of unsaturated acids. The proposed mechanism was supported by derived rate law and activation parameters.
