Which agent can be used to oxidize aniline to Quinone?(a) NaOH(b) KMnO4(c) H2O(d) COThis question was addressed to me in semester exam.My question is from Liquid Phase Oxidation with Oxidizing Compounds topic in chapter Oxidation of Unit Processes

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (b) KMnO4

The best I can explain: SODIUM or potassium dichromate may be used to oxidize aniline to QUINONE, but a low temperature and slow addition of the oxidizing agent must be employed in order to restrict the ACTION.
