Question

Draw the structure of the aromatic organic product formed from the reaction of the following compound with KMnO4

Answer 1

Concepts and reason

This problem is based on the concept of oxidation of an aromatic compound.

Aromatic hydrocarbons are the compounds having benzene ring in their chemical structure. Benzene ring is an aromatic ring which has a pi electron of six electrons that enhances its electron density.

Fundamentals

Aromatic compounds can be oxidized by using many oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate which is basically used for the oxidation of alkyl substituted aromatic compounds in order to form a carboxylic acid.

The structure of the reactant is shown below:

The oxidation chemical reaction of the given reactant in the presence of potassium permanganate is shown below:

Ans:

Therefore, structure of the product is shown below:

Answer 2

Since for oxidation reactions , Rate of Reaction :primary carbon > secondary carbon > tertiary carbon therefore -CH3 group at the bottom will be replaced by -COOH group since it is less hindered and rest structure will remain same
