Potassium Permanganate
Recent Literature

In an efficient and easily scalable continuous flow transformation of alcohols
and aldehydes to carboxylic acids and nitroalkane derivatives to the
corresponding carbonyls and carboxylic acids using permanganate as the oxidant,
the generation and downstream processing of MnO2 slurries was not
found to cause any blocking of the reactor when ultrasound pulses were applied
to the flow system.

Various terminal olefinic compounds are directly
converted into the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones in good yields by potassium
permanganate oxidation. The reaction is highly chemoselective in the
presence of differently protected hydroxy groups.

Permanganate supported on active manganese dioxide can be used
effectively for the oxidation of arenes, alcohols and sulfides under
heterogeneous or solvent-free conditions.
