Oxidations with Manganese Dioxide

Polycationic Mn12 Single‐Molecule Magnets as Electron Reservoirs with S>10 Ground States

“…It is possible that ethanol plays this role in the present example as manganese oxides are common reagents for the oxidation of alcohols. [14] Also, coordination of ethanol to the Mn 12 core is unprecedented, and suggests further studies in which the nature of the ligands that occupy the four "water sites" is changed. Finally, preliminary results show that the polycationic compound 1 with an S = 11 ground state opens the way to the preparation of a variety of crystalline SMM salts by simple metathesis reactions, and that it is a useful precursor for the deposition of these magnetically active entities onto metal and metal oxide surfaces.…”

Oxidation of Free L-histidine by tert-Butylhydroperoxide

“…The only other report in the literature we are aware of is by Gewitz et al (37), who reacted free L-histidine with L-amino acid oxidase and horseradish peroxidase to yield 4(5)-imidazolecarboxaldehyde, 4(5)-imidazolecarboxylic acid, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. 4(5)-imidazolecarboxaldehyde is commercially available and can be prepared through a variety of synthetic pathways (37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49), which are different from the oxidation of L-histidine currently being discussed.

Synthesis, characterization, X-ray structure and photoluminescence properties of two Ce(III) complexes derived from pentadentate ligands

“…2,6-Diformylpyridine was prepared by oxidation of 2,6-pyridinedimethanol using manganese dioxide according to the literature method [36].…”
