Abstract	The kinetics of oxidation of substituted styryl 4-biphenyl ketones and of substituted styryl 2-fluorenyl ketones by pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) have been studied in 90% acetic acid- 10% water (v/v) containing perchloric acid and NaClO4 at 10 0 , 20 0 , 30 0 and 40℃. The reactions are first order in styryl ketones and PCC. The second order rate constants are well correlated only with σ+ constants implying development of positive charge adjacent to benzene ring in the transition state. The effects of varying [HClO4] and the percentage of acetic acid on the reactions have also been analysed. A mechanism involving nucleophilic attack of PCC leading to an unsymmetric intermediate from which epoxides are formed is proposed.
