The
Concept introduction:
The benzene ring is inert to even strong oxidizing agents like KMnO4 and Na2Cr2O7. However the alkyl side chains with benzylic hydrogen atoms are readily oxidized by these reagents into carboxyl groups. Compounds having no benzylic hydrogen atoms in the side chain are not oxidized.
To give:
The aromatic substance obtained as the product, when m-nitroisopropyl benzene is oxidized with KMnO4.
b)
Interpretation:
The aromatic substance obtained as the product, when p-tert-butyltoluene is oxidized with KMnO4, is to be given.
