why alkanes cannot be oxidized with kmno4 solution

Answers

Answered by Anonymous

Explanation:

Alkanes, because of the presence of only sigma bonds and the absence of pi bonds, are quite stable and hence do not react with KMnO4. ... Alkenes are readily oxidised by cold dilute neutral or alkaline KMnO4 solution to give vicinal or 1,2-glycols while KMnO4 is itself reduced to MnO2.
