Oxidation Reactions | Formation of Benzoic acid from Alkyl benzene | Chap#8 | Hydrocarbons

Chapter No.8 Hydrocarbons The Oxidation of Benzene with KMnO₄ to Form Benzoic Acid is a key reaction 🌟 Overview of the Reaction The oxidation of benzene with potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) is a method to produce benzoic acid. However, benzene itself is relatively resistant to oxidation by KMnO₄ under normal conditions. Instead, this reaction is more commonly applied to alkylbenzenes, where the alkyl group is oxidized to a carboxylic acid group, forming benzoic acid. Reaction Conditions: Reagent: KMnO₄ (potassium permanganate) Conditions:Heating, typically under basic or neutral conditions Example with Alkylbenzene For example, if you start with toluene (methylbenzene), the reaction with KMnO₄ would oxidize the methyl group to form benzoic acid: C₆H₅CH₃ + KMnO₄ → C₆H₅COOH (benzoic acid) Significance of the Reaction This oxidation reaction is important for the synthesis of benzoic acid and its derivatives, which have applications in food preservation, pharmaceuticals, and as precursors for other organic compounds 🌟 #federalboardchemistry subscribe my YouTube channel for more vedios ‪@HusnainaMajeed‬
