Permanganate Ion Oxidations. 16. Substituent Effects on the Rate of Oxidation of α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylate Ions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00360a004

The kinetics of the permanganate ion oxidation of substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylate ions were investigated in phosphate buffered solutions (pH 6.83 +/- 0.03).Although the rate of oxidation is not very sensitive to electronic effects, steric factors
