Addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to potassium permanganate gives Mn 2 O 7. [76] Although no reaction may be apparent, the vapor over the mixture will ignite paper impregnated with alcohol. Potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid react to produce some ozone, which has a high oxidizing power and rapidly oxidizes the alcohol, causing it to ...
Potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) oxidizes primary alcohols to carboxylic acids very efficiently. This reaction, which was first described in detail by Fournier, [10] [11] is typically carried out by adding KMnO 4 to a solution or suspension of the alcohol in an alkaline aqueous solution. For the reaction to proceed efficiently, the alcohol must ...
4, permanganate or manganate(VII), MnO − 4, and the dimanganate or dimanganate(III) Mn 2 O 6− 6. A manganate(IV) anion MnO 4− 4 has been prepared by radiolysis of dilute solutions of permanganate. [3] [4] It is mononuclear in dilute solution, and shows a strong absorption in the ultraviolet and a weaker absorption at 650 nm. [3]
Potassium permanganate will decompose into potassium manganate, manganese dioxide and oxygen gas: 2 KMnO 4 → K 2 MnO 4 + MnO 2 + O 2. This reaction is a laboratory method to prepare oxygen, but produces samples of potassium manganate contaminated with MnO 2. The former is soluble and the latter is not.
Potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) is a dark violet colored powder. Its reaction with glycerol (commonly known as glycerin or glycerine) (C 3 H 5 (OH) 3) is highly exothermic, resulting rapidly in a flame, along with the formation of carbon dioxide and water vapour: 14 KMnO 4 (s) + 4 C 3 H 5 (OH) 3 (l) → 7 K 2 CO 3 (s) + 7 Mn 2 O 3 (s) + 5 CO 2 ...

Potassium permanganate is often used as the oxidant for dihydroxylation; however, due to its poor solubility in organic solvent, a phase-transfer catalyst (such as benzyltriethylammonium chloride, TEBACl) is also added to increase the number of substrates for dihydroxylation. [18] Mild conditions are required to avoid over-oxidation.
Permanganic acid has also been prepared through the reaction of hydrofluorosilicic acid with potassium permanganate, [4] through electrolysis, and through hydrolysis of manganese heptoxide, though the last route often results in explosions. [5] Crystalline permanganic acid has been prepared at low temperatures as the dihydrate, HMnO 4 ·2H 2 O. [3]
