Abstract
The Briggs-Rauscher reaction with substrates containing acidic hydrogen such as malonic acid, acetonyl acetone has been studied. The employment of mixed media involving an organic solvent and water enabled the study of water-insoluble substrates. The present communication reports the oscillatory behaviour of malonic acid in the iodate system in different mixed media (5 vol.% of the organic solvent) as well as the oscillatory behaviour of seven substrates in acetonitrile-water mixed medium of which two are new substrates hitherto unreported in any of the oscillatory systems.
