Take a look at this documents, hope it helps.

What do you mean with oxidation? Is that total oxidation? Is that partial oxidation? Is that catalytic oxidation or non-catalytic?
Anyway, irrespectively of oxidation mode you need somehow identify the path way and the produce intermediate from feedstocks to the products. I have some publication for total oxidation of toluene to CO2 (attached file).
Attached file concerning total oxidation of toulene and the proposed intermediate
Thanks for all the answers. Dear Mehri: It is catalytic oxidation on platinum. For example what is the machanism in the gas phase at 60 C, for 1:5 ratio isopropanol:oxygen under atmospheric pressure. The product is acetone, nothing else?
I am interested in how the IPA connect to the surface, how oxygen play a role in it. What is going on on the surface? What is the proposed mechanism? Is there a proof for that mechanism?

It is not an easy task to identified the intermediates and the adsorption complex from IPA. It seems that in the most reactions dealing with hydrocarbon; the hydrogen abstraction is considered as first step in adsorption of molecule to the surface of catalyst. I am sure that your final product is not only acetone. Aceton is the main product and you have several by-products that its concentrations are not significant. The procedure for the mechanism investigation can be done as I did it in earlier attached file and using some kind of modelling program to optimise the k-value.
There is several approach to identify the adsorbed intermediates on the surface of catalyst; e.g., FTIR. I attached also another publication that I identified the adsorbed intermediate by FTIR.
