UV-visible spectral identification of the solution-phase and solid-phase permanganate oxidation reactions of thymine acetic acid.
Solution-phase and solid-phase permanganate oxidation reactions of thymine acetic acid were investigated by spectroscopy. The spectral data showed the formation of a stable organomanganese intermediate, which was responsible for the rise in the absorbance at 420 nm. This result enables unambiguous interpretation of the absorbance change at 420 nm, as the intermediate permanganate ions could be isolated on the solid supports.
