Abstract
Inorganic oxidants have rarely been used for the oxidation of alcohls to the corresponding carbonyl compounds.This paper deals with the kinetics of oxidation of industrially important secondary cyclic alcohols,Cyclopentanol,Cyclohexanol and Cyclooctanol by K2S2O8 in acidic medium,under first order kinetic conditions with respect to the inorganic oxidant.The sequence of oxidation rates viz.Cyclooctanol > Cyclopentanol > Cyclohexanol has been explained on the basis of the effect of ring size of the cyclic alcohols on their oxidation rates.From the effect of temperature on the oxidation rate of alcohols,the thermodynamic activation parameters have been evaluated,

Keywords
secondary cyclic alcohols,inorganic oxidant,kinetics,ring size,thermodynamic activation parameters,energy of activation,entropy of activation.
