Answer» Solution :When an alkylbenzene is heated with `KMnO_(4)-KOH`, the entire side CHAIN is oxidised to `COO^(-)K^(+)` irrespective of the length of alkyl side chain. `UNDERSET("Ethyl BENZENE")(C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)) underset(Delta)OVERSET(KMnO_(4)-KOH)to underset("Pot. benzoate")(C_(6)H_(5)-COO^(-)K^(+))` |
