Permanganate of Potassa in Oxaluria

A Case of Alternating Oxaluria and Phosphaturia

Permanganate in Opium Poisoning

Sir,?This treatment has not found by any means strong support, although founded on good chemical reason, i.e., that potassium permanganate decomposes morphia. If is naturally only useful to render harmless the morphia tvhich is in the alimentary canal and so unabsorbed. No one who understands what poisoning is, would expect this drug to be of service when a case is seen late, and a lethal dose ...

Permanganate Fixation of Plant Cells

In an evaluation of procedures explored to circumvent some of the problems of osmium tetroxide-fixation and methacrylate embedding of plant materials, excised segments of root tips of Zea mays were fixed for electron microscopy in potassium permanganate in the following treatment variations: unbuffered and veronal-acetate buffered solutions of 0.6, 2.0, and 5.0 per cent KMnO(4) at pH 5.0, 6.0, ...

Enhanced permanganate chemiluminescence.

The significant enhancement of acidic potassium permanganate chemiluminescence by Mn(II) results from the concomitant presence of permanganate and Mn(III) in the reagent solution, which enables rapid production of the excited Mn(II) emitter with a wide range of analytes. Furthermore, the key Mn(III) co-reactant can be quickly generated by reducing permanganate with sodium thiosulfate, instead o...

Solvent free permanganate oxidations

The oxidations of organic compounds by permanganate under solvent free conditions have been studied. Thiols and primary aromatic amines undergo oxidative coupling reactions to give disulfides and diazenes, respectively, sulfides are oxidized to sulfones, primary and secondary alcohols are converted to aldehydes and ketones, 1,4-diols and cyclic ethers give lactones and arenes are oxidized to th...
