Dear Dr Andrei

I tried to get a copy of the paper but I could not get Access to it. Do you have a copy of ,if you have I will be glad if you sent it to me directly or to e-mail:[email protected]

It may be possible by KMnO4 in water basic media. 1,2-diketones are non-stable in this conditions and will be splitted by hydroxyl anion to carboxylate and aldehyde, with subsequent oxidation.

Maybe by a double Baeyer–Villiger oxidation form ketone to the di-ester? ... Followed by hydrolise the diester. Ussualy the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is for single ketones but you can try it with diketones... (it works with diketones beta and gama...)

Thanks to Dr Andrei and Dr Abilio so from both answers I guess the reaction can happen but is it possible to have the decomposition with halates.

Dear Hatem, unfortunately, I do not have access from the computer - only through an order in the public library.

But you can ask ResearchGate community through question in any topic - with article data that I supply.

For 'thanks" there is special button with green triangle - it upvotes useful and qualified answers

Dear Anderi

Thank you I will check with Research gate abd I Upovoted your answers.Thank you for this information

Yours Sincerely

Hatem

hot and concentrated KMnO4 is the most simple root

@Saied

Can you help to Hatem with copy of publiction that he really need?

Dear all Colleagues

Thank you all very much with my best wishes to every one to have a happy new year

All your answers are great and your help was very helpful

Yours Sincerely

As you could see from the answers, oxidative cleavage leads to two dicarboxylic acid. However, an other aspect is that the residual part of the molecule will not be oxidized. Therefore, the selection of the oxidant, media, acid concentration are improtant factors, because the oxidation power of most of the oxidant strongly depends on the acid concentration, especially if water is present in the media (pH)

@ Andrei,

I will send him.
