    Description

    General description

    Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) exhibits strong oxidizing properties.[2] KMnO4 on dissolution in benzene and on complexation with dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, affords a useful oxidizing reagent. This reagent participates as an oxidant for the oxidation of olefins, alcohols, aldehydes and alkyl benzenes under mild conditions.[7]

    Potassium permanganate, a dark violet colored crystalline solid, is a strong oxidizing agent for a wide range of organic compounds.[8][9] It is commonly used as a disinfectant to treat external infections in aquaculture.[10] Corncobs pretreated with alkaline potassium permanganate solution showed high carbohydrate recovery due to the increased enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose.[11] The acidic potassium permanganate acts a chemiluminescence reagent for the determination of organic compounds.[12]

    Application

    Layered MnO2 with very promising characteristics for battery applications is produced by thermal decomposition of KMnO4.[1]

    Potassium permanganate may be employed as an oxidizing agent in the synthesis of the following:
    • sulfonal (2,2-bisethylsulfonyyl)propane[3]
    • cinchomeronic acid (pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid)[4]
    • isonicotinic acid (pyridine-4-carboxylic acid)[5]
    • manganese(IV) sulfate[6]

    Potassium permanganate may be used as an oxidant for the conversion of aromatic aldehydes to corresponding amides in liquid ammonia.[13]

    Suitable for heterogeneous oxidations.
