Abstract

Described here are oxidations of alkylaromatic compounds by dimanganese μ-oxo and μ- hydroxo dimers [(phen) 2MnIV (μ-O) 2MnIV (phen) 2] 4+([Mn 2 (O) 2] 4+),[(phen) 2MnIV (μ- O) 2MnIII (phen) 2] 3+([Mn 2 (O) 2] 3+), and [(phen) 2MnIII (μ-O)(μ-OH) MnIII (phen) 2] 3+([Mn 2 (O)(OH)] 3+). Dihydroanthracene, xanthene, and fluorene are oxidized by [Mn 2 (O) 2] 3+ to give anthracene, bixanthenyl, and bifluorenyl, respectively. The manganese ...
