Hello!
I'm from Poland, so I'm so sorry about my language errors.
But I've got a question for you: please give me a mechanism of oxidation of alkanes with potassium permanganate and osmium tetroxide. I've got a problem with that, cuz in books ther's only KMnO4, oraz OsO4 up on the arrow, and ther's no detailed mechanism of this reaction. I'v got a problem, cuz I need mechanism of alkenes oxidation with potassium permangate in alkaline reaction medium, and with oxitation by osmium tetroxide ther's also sodium bisulfite, and I haven't got any idea for what is that reagent.
I would be very happy if someone gave me the reaction mechanism and explained me what is sodium bisulfate for.
