Abstract
Results obtained from a study of the oxidation of mandelic acid and cyclobutanol by manganate(VI) indicate that reaction mechanisms traditionally applied to oxidations of this type (i.e., hydrogen atom or hydride ion transfers) may not be correct. Instead it appears that the reaction may be initiated by a 2+2 addition of the α-C-H bond to a manganese oxo double bond. This interpretation may be useful in the development of a general mechanism for the oxidation of organic compounds by high-valent transition metal oxides including more common oxidants such as permanganate, ruthenium tetroxide, and chromic acid
