    Compound reacting with alkaline\[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)        \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)        \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C-C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    D)        none of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Only \[{{1}^{o}}\] and \[{{2}^{o}}\] alcohol are oxidized by alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\cdot {{3}^{o}}\] alcohols do not react with alkaline\[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] \[\underset{{{2}^{o}}alcohol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Alk.\,\,KMn{{O}_{4}}}\underset{ketone}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-CH}}\,\]                                          \[\xrightarrow{alk.\,\,KMn{{O}_{4}}}\underset{acid}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,\]
