REVIEW ON OXIDATION OF PARACETAMOL

Abstract

This review paper deals with the study on oxidation of paracetamol by various oxidising agents in different media. The paper highlights about the involvement of various catalyst in the oxidation study of paracetamol. Kinetics and equivalence studies together with product analysis, observed effect of influence of the medium on the rate of the reaction and the activation parameters furnished in the various oxidation studies has been grouped together to evaluate paracetamol behavior towards other chemicals.
