Summary
The reactivities of α- and β-glycerophosphates towards MnO −4 in HClO4 medium have been examined. The reactions between glycerophosphates and MnO −4 are first order with respect to [glycerophosphate], [MnO −4 ] and [H+]. There is no evidence for cleavage of the C−O−P bond rather than the terminal −CH2OH group being oxidized to the respective phosphoglyceraldehyde.
