Chemistry - Hydrocarbon Question with Solution | TestHub

Generally alkanes resist oxidation but alkane with tertiary H atom(s) can be oxidised to corresponding alcohols by ${\mathrm{KMnO}}_4$
$\therefore {\mathrm{R}}_1\Rightarrow {\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{R}}_2\Rightarrow {\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{R}}_3\Rightarrow {\mathrm{CH}}_3$
