a.

b.

Step by step solution

01

Oxidation of Aromatic Compounds

The benzene ring is inert to oxidizing agents likeKMnO4 andNa2Cr2O7 .The alkyl side chains comprising benzylic hydrogen are oxidized to carboxyl groups by these reagents. Compounds that do not possess benzylic hydrogen atoms are not oxidized.

02

Aromatic compounds obtained from the oxidation of different compounds 

(a)The given compound 1-isopropyl-3-nitrobenzene reacts withKMnO4 andH2O to form 3-nitrobenzoic acid. The reaction can be given as:

Reaction(a)

(b)The given compound, 1-(tert-butyl)-4-methylbenzene reacts with KMnO4and H2Oto form 4-(tert-butyl)benzoic acid. The reaction can be given as:

Reaction(b)
