Oxidation of olefins by manganese(III) acetate was carried out using propionic acid as a solvent. The oxidation products obtained were propionic acid derivatives such as 2-methyl-4-propanoyloxyalkanoic acids, γ-lactones, alkanoic or alkenoic acids and propanoyloxyalkenes. Of these products, 2-methyl-4-propanoyloxyalkanoic acids underwent thermal cracking with ease to decompose into corresponding γ-lactones
