The kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of crotyl alcohol by peroxomonosulfate has been studied, and the species of the peroxomonosulfate are discussed to find out the role of activated species. A plausible reaction mechanism is suggested, and a derived rate law corresponds to all experimental observations. The activation parameters such as energy and entropy of activation have been calculated as 37.21 ± 0.5 kJ mol −1 and −148.91 ± 2.7 J K −1 mol −1 , respectively, by employing the Eyring plot.
