To solve the given question, we will break down the reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound The starting compound is C₆H₅CH₂CH₃, which is known as phenethyl alcohol or phenethyl. ### Step 2: First reaction with KMnO₄ and KOH at 373 K When phenethyl (C₆H₅CH₂CH₃) is treated with KMnO₄ in the presence of KOH at 373 K, it undergoes oxidation. KMnO₄ is a strong oxidizing agent, and under these conditions, the primary alcohol group (-CH₂-) is oxidized to a carboxylic acid (-COOH). ...
