  "abstract": "Manganese oxides (MnOx) with manganese in oxidation states between +III and +IV are well established in organic synthesis as oxidizing agents for allylic alcohols. In this study, four different MnIII/IVOx were synthesized according to established procedures and—together with commercial “activated MnO2” – investigated in detail concerning their reactivity in the heterogeneous oxidation of the allylic alcohol trans‐pent‐2‐en‐1‐ol. We found that all manganese oxides were able to oxidize trans‐pent‐2‐en‐1‐ol to the corresponding aldehyde with excellent selectivities. However, reaction rates differed greatly depending on the oxides’ structures, morphologies, chemical compositions and average Mn oxidation states. Amorphous manganese oxides with layered structures (birnessite‐type) proved to be especially efficient oxidizing agents and the incorporation of Ca2+ further increased reactivity. Post‐reaction analyses by X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray spectroscopy indicated that most MnOx materials largely retained their structures and Mn oxidation states, whereas Ca‐birnessite showed clear reaction‐induced structural changes and moderate Mn reduction. Very similar results were obtained for the oxidation of the related substrate cinnamyl alcohol. Overall, it can be concluded that the best oxidation agents for this “classic” of organic synthesis are much more complex materials than simply “MnO2” and that the right choice of MnOx is crucial for high product conversions.",
