In Proposed study work we explored the kinetic and mechanism of oxidation of Propane 1,2-diol by Isoquinolium bromochromate in aqueous acetic acid medium because it is an ecofriendly, cheap, non-hazardous and easily synthesized in chemical laboratories and available in market. Proposed study work was carried out at 2980 K, we have analyzed oxidation of Propane 1,2-diol by isoquinolium bromochromate in aqueous acetic acid medium. Reaction follows first order kinetics at low concentration of Propane 1,2-diol with trend towards zero order at its higher concentration with respect Isoquinolium bromochromate and the reaction is acid catalyzed. In order to study the effect of catalyst ions were chosen as CuSO4 and MnSO4 were taken as the cat ions sources of Cu++ and Mn++ ions. The effects of these ions were studied by adding varying concentration of Cu++and Mn++ to the reaction mixtures, keeping the concentration of substrate, oxidant and composition of acetic acid water and temperature constant.
