Question:
Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : 2-methylbutane on oxidation with $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ gives 2-methylbutan-2-ol.
Statement-II : $\mathrm{n}$-alkanes can be easily oxidised to corresponding alcohol with $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$.
Choose the correct option :
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
Alkane are very less reactive, tertiary hydrogen can oxidise to alcohal with $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$.
2-methyl-butane
