Question

can KMnO4 oxidized benzene.if yes then how?if no the why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

Oxidation of the side-chain alkyl groups of alkylbenzenes illustrates the special stability of the aromatic ring. We recall that potassium permanganate reacts with the π bonds of an alkene to give vicinal diols. Potassium permanganate does not oxidize the benzene ring.

Answer 2

NO.

Step by step explaination:

Potassium permanganate does not oxidize the benzene ring. However, under vigorous conditions, the alkyl side chain is totally oxidized to produce a carboxylic acid at the site of the alkyl group. When two or more alkyl groups are present on a ring, they are all oxidized.
