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.

- Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions -X티 Hö: H-O -CH3 -CH3 H30*arrow_forward6.
