Identify the product formed in the following reaction. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3 \xrightarrow[\text { ii) } \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}]{\text {alk } \mathrm{KMnO}_4} \text {. product }$
  1. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}$
  2. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{COOH}$
  3. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{OH}$
  4. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{COOH}$

Solution

$\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3 \xrightarrow[\text { (ii) } \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}]{\text {(i) alk } \mathrm{KMnO}_4} \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{COOH}$ (Benzoic aċid)
