Abstract: The kinetics of oxidation of β-butylene-glycol(β-BG) and γ-butylene-glycol(γ-BG) by DPN in alkaline medium was studied with spectrophotometry in a temperature range of 25—40 ℃.The reaction was found to be pseudo-first order with respect to DPN and to be fractional order to β-BG and γ-BG. The rate increased with the increase of [OH-] and decreased with the increase of [IO4-]. Adding salts did not affect the rate and no free radical was detected. A mechanism involving a pre-equilibrium of an adduct formation between MPN and BG was proposed. The activation parameters of the rate-determining step were calculated.
