The use of potassium permanganate provides a simple and effective means for converting nitro paraffin salts to pure aldehydes and ketones in 81-96 percent yields.Even the carbon-carbon double bond is less readily attacked by permanganate than a nitro paraffin anion.Thus, the salt of ω-nitroundecylene is converted to undecylenic aldehyde in 59 percent yield.
Synthesis of Quaternary Carbon Compounds

A general synthesis of quaternary carbon compounds RR'R''CCH2NO2 which gives excellent yields of pure products is described.Of special interest is the preparation of quaternary aldehydes by permanganate oxidation of these nitro compounds.
