Answer:
Another reaction that alkenes undergo is oxidation . When a purple solution of the oxidizing agent KMnO4 is added to an alkene is oxized to a diol and the KMnO4 is converted to brown MnO2 .Alkanes and aromatic compounds do not react with potassium permanganate

The acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution oxidizes the alkene by breaking the carbon-carbon double bond and replacing it with two carbon-oxygen double bonds.Carbonyl compounds can also react with potassium manganate(VII), but how they react depends on what is attached to the carbon-oxygen double bond.
