Will benzene react with KMnO4

Accepted Answer

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.
