The kinetics and mechanism of Mn(VII) oxidation of substituted alkyl (
E) cinnamates by cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate have been studied
spectrophotometrically at 524 nm in chloroform medium. From the forma
tion of aldehydes and Mn(III) a mechanism for the oxidation reaction h
as been proposed. The formation of cyclic manganate(V) diester interme
diate is supported by a large negative entropy of activation. A negati
vely charged transition state is also supported by the Hammett plot.
