Potassium permanganate in acid solution is a powerful oxidizing agent that does not allow selective oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones, e.g. ‌37‌, because side reactions such as cleavage of C—C bonds, can occur.[‌96‌] However, there are several ways in which the potency of the permanganate ion can be reduced (‌Table 2‌). When barium permanganate is used under nonaqueous and aprotic conditions, secondary alcohols are converted into ketones in good yield (‌Table 2‌, entry 1).[‌97‌] An example is the oxidation of 3β-hydroxy­androst-5-en-17-one (‌38‌) to androst-5-ene-3,17-dione (‌39‌) (‌Scheme 24‌).[‌97‌]
