When a purple solution of the oxidizing agent KMnO4 is added to an alkene, the alkene is oxidized to a diol and the KMnO4 is converted to brown MnO2. ... Alkanes and aromatic compounds do not react with potassium permanganate.

Answer:
➡ Description: Treatment of an alkylbenzene with potassium permanganate results in oxidation to give the benzoic acid. Notes: The position directly adjacent to an aromatic group is called the “benzylic” position. The reaction only works if there is a hydrogen attached to the carbon
