Title: Preparation of 1-C14-Propene-1 and the Mechanism of PermanganateOxidation of Propene
Abstract: 1-C{sup 14}-propene has been prepared. The migration of the double bond under a variety of experimental conditions in the preparation of propene has been investigated. The mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of the labeled propene has been examined; it has been found to proceed by several paths, the relative importance of which depends upon the experimental conditions, especially the pH.
