The oxidation of D-sorbitol and D-dulcitol by potassium permanganate in alkaline medium showed substrate inhibition for both substrates due to the formation of 1:1 manganese-sugar alcohol complex which resists oxidation. Consequently, the reaction was inverse first order with respect to sugar alcohol for both substrates, first order each with respect to [KMnO4], [OH-] and independent of ionic strength for both substrates investigated. Activation parameters were obtained and a plausible mechanism was proposed from kinetic and spectroscopic studies.
