Question

what happens when 1 phenyl ethanol is treated with acidified KMno4​

Answer 1

Answer:

$CH_{3} CH_{2} OH----->CH_{3} COOH$

                                    $KMnO_{4}$

1) Ethanol when reacts with acidified kmno4 go through oxidation to shape ethanol acid

2) when ethanol is introduced to alkaline kmno4 answer, the ethanol receives oxidized to ethanol acid because of nascent oxygen.

3) Kmno4 is an oxidizing agent. As a result when we first upload alkaline kmno4 to ethanol

4) The pink color of the kmno4 vanishes, as it is getting used up for the oxidation procedure
