Resumo

The use of permanganate as an effective oxidant in organic chemistry has a long and extensive history. Industrial applications have recently become more attractive environmentally by the introduction of a process for recycling manganese dioxide, a coproduct of these reactions. This recycling approach has reduced the environmental impact of permanganate technology and made it sustainable as defined by the Brundtland Commission. Several current and potential industrial applications of permanganate oxidations are discussed along with a description of some emerging technologies.
