The mechanistic proposal fo induced oxidation by using As
(III) as inductor and formic acid as acceptor were investigated. A probable mechanism has been
suggested on the basis of induction factor (LF.). It is observed that Mn5+ acts as reactive
intermediate and induces the oxidation of formic acid through anhydride formation.
