Q. The final product obtained in the oxidation of $t$-butyl benzene with $Na _2 Cr _2 O _7+ H _2 SO _4$ is:

Redox Reactions

Solution:

Due to $(+ I )$ effect of three $( Me )$ groups in $t$-butyl group, the benzene is activated and unstable, so the oxidation of the benzene ring takes place. The oxidation of the side chain containing $t$-butyl group does not take place because it does not have the benzylic H atom
