JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers
Given below are two statements : Statement\(-I :\, 2 -\)methylbutane on oxidation with \(KMnO _{4}\) gives \(2 -\)methylbutan\(-2-\)ol. Statement\(-II :\) \(n-\)alkanes can be easily oxidised to corresponding alcohol with \(KMnO _{4}\). Choose the correct option:
- A Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are correct
- B Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are incorrect
- C Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
- D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkane are very less reactive, tertiary hydrogen can oxidise to alcohal with \(KMnO _{4}\).
