Abstract
Autocatalysis has been detected during the reaction of methyltributylammonium permanganate with 1-tetradecene in methylene chloride solutions. Activation of permanganate by adsorption on colloidal particles of the product, manganese dioxide, appears to be responsible for the observed autocatalysis. Permanganate so activated can then be reduced either by reaction with the alkene or by thermal decomposition.
