When ethanol is heated in presence of alkaline potassium permanganate the product formed is ethanoic acid.
1)KMnO₄
C₂H₅OH----------------->CH₃COOH
The above reaction is oxidation reaction because alcohol group changes into carboxylic acid. KMnO₄ is an oxidizing agent.It is used in many reaction for the purpose of oxidation.For conversion of aldehyde to carboxylic acid is also done by reacting with KMnO₄
