22. The temperature on the microwave oven was set at 105 -C, but due to the small quantities used and the design of the temperature probe holder assembly, the sensor did not actually contact the reactants. The temperature measured just above the reaction mixture, however, never exceeded 90 -C.
23. The TGA experiments were performed on synthetic MnO2 samples prepared according to the literature procedures followed by drying at 90 -C and 1 atm for 1 week. Commercial MnO2 was also dried at 90 -C and 1 atm for 1 week.

26. For optimum activity, the water must be adsorbed to the oxidant prior to the reaction.
27. Compounds were characterized by comparison with known spectra, see Pouchert, C. J.; Behnke, J. The Aldrich Library of 13C and 1H FT NMR Spectra, 1st ed.; Aldrich Chemical Co., 1993.

37. When we repeated the procedure described by Brossi and co-workers using Attenburrow MnO2 in acetic acid (120 -C, 4 h) for the conversion of 1j to 2j, we obtained a 15% yield. It must be noted, however, that the source of the MnO2 used in these earlier references was not reported. 20. (a) Knölker, H.-J. J. Prakt. Chem. 1995, 337, 75-77.
