When ethanol is heated with alkaline potassium permanganate solution it gets converted in to ethanoic acid. In this reaction , alkaline potassium permanganate acts as:

Through alkaline potassium permanganate and acidic potassiums permanganate both are used as oxidants ,yet in the manufacture of benzioc acid from toluene we use alcohlic potassium permanganate as an oxidant .Why ? Write a balanced redox equation for the reacitons

How do you account for the following observations ? Though alkaline potassium permanganate and acidic potassium permanganate both are used as oxidants, yet in the manufacture of benzoic acid from toluene we use alcoholic potassium permanganate as an oxidant. Why? Write a balanced redox equation for the reaction.
