| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Benzyltriethylammonium permanganate is used as an oxidant, used for the oxidation of alkanes and arenes to alcohols or ketones, ethers to esters, primary alcohols to methylene diesters, secondary alcohols to ketones, amines to amides, aldehydes to carboxylic acids, and sulfides or sulfoxides to sulfones. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]

| [Synthesis]
The synthesis of benzyltriethylammonium permanganate: a solution of Benzyltriethylammonium Chloride (227.8 g, 1.00 mol) in 200 mL of water is added slowly dropwise to a solution of Potassium Permanganate (158.0 g, 1.00 mol) in 4.7 L of water. Violet crystals are recovered by filtration and dried under vacuum at rt. Yield: 294.8 g (95%).[1]
| [Precautions]
Oxidant, store small amounts (10-100g) in glass vessels at or below rt. Decomposes violently when heated above 50°C or subjected to shocks. Room temperature should not be exceeded when drying under vacuum.
