Under normal conditions, benzene does not react with KMnO4. Benzene is an aromatic compound with high stability due to its delocalized pi electron system. KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent, but it typically oxidizes alkenes, alkynes, and aldehydes. Benzene's high stability makes it resistant to oxidation by KMnO4.
