Abstract
Oxidation of phthalic acid (in solvent dioxan) has been carried out by using some oxidants. Oxidative metabolism of phthalic acid by soil pseudomonads has been reported. Thus, phthalic acid is also expected to give a variety of products, specially with oxidant chromium trioxide, i.e., Cr(VI) in t-butyl alcohol as solvent in varying concentration. Solid product with oxidized fragments is obtained in the form of chromium complexes. During the process of oxidation, ligands were obtained in the process itself. In this case, again the reduced Cr is trapped by more powerful chelating reagent. After purification, the formulae of these complexes were studied and analyzed by using elemental, IR, and thermal analysis. Also, the characterization of these complexes throws light on the oxidation products of the substrates. The degradation products that are identified help in ascertaining the point of attacks of the oxidant on the substrate molecules and provide information for subsequent works that can lead to mechanism of reactions.
