Manganese(III) acetate oxidation of some ketones in the presence of 3-chlor
opropionic acid was carried out. The products were characterized. The exper
imental results were compared with the theoretical ones which was based on
AM1 (UHF) type semi-empirical calculations. The theoretical results disfavo
r any mechanism solely based on radical stability involving radicals origin
ating from the reactants. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserve
