Vedclass · Answer

(C) $1$. $KMnO_4$ is a strong oxidizing agent. When alkyl benzenes or compounds with a benzylic hydrogen are treated with basic $KMnO_4$ followed by acidification,they are oxidized to benzoic acid. $2$. Toluene $(C_6H_5CH_3)$ has a benzylic hydrogen and oxidizes to benzoic acid. $3$. Acetophenone $(C_6H_5COCH_3)$ has a benzylic hydrogen on the methyl group and oxidizes to benzoic acid. $4$. Benzyl alcohol $(C_6H_5CH_2OH)$ has benzylic hydrogens and oxidizes to benzoic acid. $5$. Anisole $(C_6H_5OCH_3)$ does not have a benzylic hydrogen (the carbon attached to the ring is part of an ether linkage and lacks the necessary hydrogen for oxidation to the carboxylic acid group). Therefore,it does not yield benzoic acid under these conditions.

Which of the following compounds will not yield benzoic acid upon boiling with basic $KMnO_4$ followed by acidification?
