MCQ
$n-$pentane and iso pentane can be distinguished by
  • A
    $B{r_2}$
  • B
    ${O_3}$
  • C
    conc. ${H_2}S{O_4}$
  • $KMn{O_4}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$KMn{O_4}$
d
(d) On oxidation, with $KMn{O_4}$, they give different alcohols

$\mathop {C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_3}}\limits_{n{\text{ }}penten} \mathop {\xrightarrow{{KMn{O_4}}}}\limits_{[O]} $ $\mathop {C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_2}CHO{H_2}}\limits_{{\text{1}}^\circ {\text{ }}alcohol} $

$C{H_3}C{H_2} - \mathop {\mathop {{\text{ }}C}\limits_| H}\limits_{C{H_3}}  - C{H_3}\mathop {\xrightarrow{{KMn{O_4}}}}\limits_{[O]} $ $\mathop {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,OH} \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|} \\ 
  {C{H_3}C{H_2} - C - C{H_3}} \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|} \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{H_3}} 
\end{array}}\limits_{{3^o}\,alcohol} $
