RapedByLifeSci Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 can anybody verify this for me? This is my stack of notes on potassium permanganate that I have been able to compile... not sure if it's right or wrong though! o KMnO4 in SB (BASE) with HEAT / same with ozone & water TB + DB cleavage to form carboxylic acids TERMINAL TB will produce carboxylic acid and CO2 TERMINAL TB in NEUTRAL pH does NOT cleave the bond. It just produces a ketone acid. o KMnO4 in WA (ACID) DB cleavage to form carboxylic acids or ketones NO ALDEHYDES!!! Aldehydes are ALWAYS OXIDIZED to carboxylic acids o KMnO4 in COLD DILUTE form Makes di-ols (SYN format) in DB In TB: makes diketone (if internal) or ketone acid (if terminal) WHAT I HAVEN'T finalized, and I was hoping others could tell me was: - what happens to an INTERNAL or TERMINAL ALKYNE when treated by WEAK ACID potassium permanganate? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
