$Manganese Dioxide (MnO2) Oxidation Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The mechanism for an oxidation reaction using manganese dioxide (MnO2) which is a mild oxidizing agent that selectively oxidizes primary or secondary allylic and benzylic alcohols. Primary alcohols yield aldehydes and secondary alcohols form ketones Music: Kerala – Infraction$

$Perkin Condensation Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The mechanism for a Perkin reaction which is an organic reaction used to convert an aromatic aldehyde and anhydride into an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid. This reaction uses sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide as a base, and an acid work-up. The final product of the reaction can either be in the E or the Z configuration.
