Identify the product (P) in the reaction:

{R_3}\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\xrightarrow{{\mathrm{Alk}\mathrm{.KMn}{\mathrm{O}_4}}}\mathrm{P}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

{R_3}\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{OH}

Option C (

{R_3}\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{OH}

) is correct because alkanes with a tertiary hydrogen atom can be oxidized by alkaline potassium permanganate (

\mathrm{Alk}\mathrm{.KMn}{\mathrm{O}_4}

) to form a tertiary alcohol.
