A review is given of reactions in which active manganese dioxide and its various modifications provide a reagent of choice for a mild, selective, heterogeneous oxidation of diverse classes of organic compounds. Applications of manganese dioxide as a dehydrogenation reagent, a coupling reagent, and as an analytical tool are also discussed. Part I 1. Type and Methods of Preparation of Active Manganese Dioxide 2. Solvent Effects on Oxidation 3. Time and Temperature Effects on Oxidation 4. Structure of Active Manganese Dioxide 5.
