The nature of detectable short-lived intermediates is of extreme importance in studies on the mechanisms of permanganate oxidations of both inorganic and organic compounds.2 In the oxidation of unsaturated carboxylic acids mangane~e(II1)~ and mangane~e(1V)~ have been detected. Manganese(V) ester^^-^ are
