Abstract

The kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of ketones with permanganate ions were studied in aqueous acidic and alkaline media for acetone, hydroxyacetone, butan-2-one and butane-2,3-dione. Acid catalysed nucleophilic addition of the permanganate to the carbonyl C-atom is suggested. In alkaline media, parallel with electron abstraction from the enolate, a concerted mechanism is proposed. Intermediates and end products were determined. Comparisons between halogenation and oxidation have been made.
