The key role of water in the heterogeneous permanganate oxidation of ω-hydroxy alkenes

Abstract

Potassium permanganate–copper sulphate in dichloromethane in the presence of a catalytic amount of water effects a smooth oxidative cyclization of ω-hydroxy alkenes to ω-lactones in good yields with the net loss of one or more carbon atoms in the process.
