What is the major product of the following reaction? ### Benzene Side Chain Oxidation with Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄)#### DescriptionThe diagram illustrates the oxidation reaction of an alkyne-substituted benzene compound using potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) under acidic conditions with heat. The starting material and several potential products are presented as follows:1. **Starting Material:** - **Structure:** Methyl-(n-propyl)benzene (C₆H₅C₃H₇CH₃)2. **Reagent:** - **Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄)** in acidic (H⁺) conditions and heat.3. **Potential Products:** - **(a)** An aliphatic ketone-substituted benzene compound (C₆H₅C(=O)(CH₂)₂CH₃) - **(b)** An aliphatic ketone-substituted benzene compound (C₆H₅C(=O)CH₂CH₃) - **(c)** 4-Methylbenzoic acid (C₆H₄(CH₃)COOH) - **(d)** Benzenetricarboxylic acid (C₆H₃(COOH)₂) - **(e)** Terephthalic acid (C₆H₄(COOH)₂) #### Explanation of ReactionBenzene side chain oxidation with potassium permanganate primarily results in carboxylic acids, especially when the side chain is a primary or secondary alkyl group. The general outcome of this reaction is the conversion of side chains into carboxylic acid groups (-COOH).The most probable product from the given reagents and conditions is compound **(e)**, terephthalic acid. This is because KMnO₄ is a strong oxidizing agent that cleaves C-C bonds adjacent to the benzene ring, converting alkyl groups completely into -COOH groups.#### Diagram ExplanationThe diagram starts with a benzene ring substituted with a propyl group (CH₂-CH₂-CH₃) and a methyl group (CH₃), being subjected to oxidation by KMnO₄. The resulting possible compounds demonstrate various stages of oxidation:- Compounds **(a)** and **(b

The presence of KMnO4 in presence of hydrogen ion and heat is a very strong oxidising agent. It…
