Need help with the equations and what product is formed t why. Methanol w/ KMnO4 then w/ HCl Ethand w/ KMnO4 2-propanol w/ KMnO4 2-methyl-2-propanol w/ KMnO4.
a. CH3OH (methanol) with KMnO4 forms formaldehyde (HCHO) and MnO2.
b. CH3OH (methanol) with HCl forms methyl chloride (CH3Cl) and water (H2O).
c. C2H5OH (ethanol) with KMnO4 forms acetic acid (CH3COOH) and MnO2.
d. C3H7OH (2-propanol) with KMnO4 forms acetone (CH3COCH3) and MnO2.
