What happens when you add potassium permanganate to a toluene water solution?

I'm a medical student taking o-chem right now so double checking this might not be a bad idea.
Basically Toluene is oxidized to Benzoic Acid in the presence of Potassium Permanganate. The CH3 group of Toluene become COOH.
Not a lot of info but i hope it's of some help.

∙ 14y agoWhat occurs is that a Benzoic acid solution is formed, which soon takes a white solid crystalline structure.

∙ 15y agoIt dissolves in water to give deep purple solutions, evaporation of which gives prismatic purplish-black glistening crystals.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe benzylic carbon becomes oxidized to form a carboxylic acid. The resulting compound is benzoic acid.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoYes. The purple solution of potassium permanganate would technically decolorise but theoretically expected to be pale pink due to formation of Mn2+ . Toluene oxidizes to form benzoic acid.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoIn water, it forms bright pink or purple solutions. It is used in water treatment because it is highly oxidizing, and has an antiseptic, antibacterial action.

Acidified potassium permanganate reaction with toluene equation?
toluene is benzene with CH3 reacting this with KMnO4 in acidic solution will produce a benzene with a carboxylic acid (CH3 will be oxidized)
What happens when toluene is treated with alkaline KMnO4?
He dies... :D
What happens when chlorine is passed through boiling toluene?
Electrophilic halogenation
What happens when Toluene reacts with Chlorine in presence of sun light?
The hydrogen atom of CH3 group in toluene are substituted by chlorine atom.
What happens when excess Chlorine is passed through boiling toluene?
Electrophilic halogenation

Is acidic or alkaline kmno4 needed for the oxidation of toluene?
Acidic conditions promote the oxidation of toluene by potassium permanganate.
What is equation for the reaction between toluene with iron powder and potassium permanganate?
lol huh
Which one is more dense a solution of potassium iodide or a mixture of toluene and naphthalene?
The solution of potassium iodide (if it is not extremely diluted) is more dense.
Why toluene does not react with acidic or alkaline permanganates?
Toluene reacts with acidic permanganate on heating and forms the Benzoic acid.
Can you filter a toluene solution using a vacuum filter?
Yes, but it will depend on what do you want to filter. For example, in metallocenic polymer synthesis, at the end of the polymerization the polymer is precipitated from a toluene solution and then filtrated using a vacuum filter.

He dies... :D

What happens when Toluene reacts with Chlorine in presence of sun light?
The hydrogen atom of CH3 group in toluene are substituted by chlorine atom.
What is a Solution in which the solvent is water?
Diethyl Ether, Naphtha, Xylene, Toluene, Petroleum Distillates, etc.
What is a solution in which water is not the solvent?
Diethyl Ether, Naphtha, Xylene, Toluene, Petroleum Distillates, etc.
