A study was made on permanganate oxidation of olefinic and acetylenic alcohols in aqueous alkali media. Deprotonation constants of alcohols can be calculated from the kinetic data. The rate constant of alkoxide group oxidation exceeded that of the unsaturated bond. For oxidation of the alcoholic group a mechanism based on hydride ion transfer is proposed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 561–567, 2002
