Abstract
AbstractReduction of selenous acid by certain carboxylic acids in presence of small quantities of KMnO4 has been studied. The observed enhanced reducing power of the carboxylic acids treated with KMnO4 towards selenous acid has been explained as being due to the formation of intermediate oxidation products of varying degree of stability, which strongly reduce selenous acid. In a few cases the presence of definite oxidation products has been indirectly proved. The results obtained are, in general, similar to those of gold chloride‐carboxylic acid reactions studied by MACMAHON and SRIVASTAVA.
