Which one of the following is correct

Options

A. `RCH_2OH overset(KMnO_4)to` No reaction
B. `CH_3CH_2OH overset(Na_2Cr_2O_7 + H_2SO_4)to` No reaction
C. `CH_3CHO overset(Na_2Cr_2O_7 + H_2SO_4)to `No reaction
D. `CH_3 - underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)-OH overset("alkaline" KMnO_4)to `NO reaction

Answer

D

Explanation

Tertiary alcohols are resistant to oxidation in neutral or alkaline `KMnO_4` solution but are readily oxidised by acid oxidising agents `(K_2Cr_2O_7//H_2SO_4 or KMnO _4//H_2 S O_ 4`
