In this thesis, potassium permanganate reacts with chlorotrimethylsilane to form manganese(Ⅶ) oxochloride which reacts subsequently with another molecule of chlorotrimethylsilane to give manganese(Ⅶ) chloride eventually. The resulting species generated in situ was treated with various alcohols to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Most of primary, secondary and substituted benzyl alcohols were converted into corresponding carbonyl compounds. The product was isolated by filtration through a silica gel pad. The yields of reactions were ranged from moderate to good depending on the kinds of alcohols. Although, much work remains to be done to understand detailed aspects of this oxidizing system, this reagent generated in situ will be a valuable addition to the lists of oxidants for the alcohols.
