Description

https://joechem.io/videos/191 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we again hone in on the benzylic position. Specifically we will look at the various ways we can perform oxidation at the benzylic position. I know we already covered the KMnO4 oxidation earlier, but I originally made this video for the section that dives deeper into benzene chemistry, where the MnO2 oxidation is introduced. So, now you know the KMnO4 oxidation twice as well :)
