The alkane that can be oxidized to the corresponding alcohol by KMnO as per the equation

is, when :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Generally alkanes resist oxidation but alkane with tertiary H atom(s) can be oxidised to corresponding alcohols by KMnO$_4$

$$ \therefore \mathrm{R}_1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \quad \mathrm{R}_2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \quad \mathrm{R}_3 \Rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3$$
