Conclusions Kinetic data indicate that the principal path followed in the oxidative addition of acetone to aromatic compounds (ArH) under the action of Mn(III) acetate in AcOH solution to be the formation of a [CH2=C(CH3)-OMnIIIĀ·ArH] complex, which breaks down with rupture of the MnIII-O bond and subsequent addition of the acetonyl radical to the coordinated ArH (limiting step); this is, in turn, followed by rapid one-electron oxidation of the intermediate adduct radical by the Mn(III) ion, and formation of the final product.
