Abstract
In strongly basic solutions the permanganate ion oxidation of C1 and C2 alcohols, aldehydes and acids obeys a second-order kinetic law of the type rate=ko [S]o [MnO4−], where S is the substrate. The rate constant k for both alcohols and aldeydes is proportional to the OH− ion concentration. This behavior is interpreted in terms of a deprotonation equilibrium followed by rate-determining hydride ion transfer to MnO4−.
