Kinetics and Mechanism of the Oxidation of Substituted Benzaldehydes by Oxo(salen)manganese(V) Complexes

Abstract

The oxidation of benzaldehyde by oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes proceeds via either a hydride-ion transfer or a hydrogen-atom transfer from the aldehyde to the manganese(V) complex.
