2.1.4 Mn(VII) Reagents as an Oxidant<br />
O<br />
Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a strong oxidizing agent, and its reactivity<br />
depends on whether it is used in acid, neutral or basic conditions. In acid<br />
solution, Mn(VII) is reduced to Mn(II), while in basic and neutral conditions, MnO2<br />
is usually formed.<br />
2.1.4.1 <strong>Oxidation</strong> of Aromatic Side Chains<br />
Alkyl side chain present in aromatic ring is readily oxidized to carboxylic acids<br />
(Scheme 15).<br />
