There are many selective oxidizing reagents that are often not covered in a lecture course. One of these is potassium permanganate, KMnO4. You do not need to know how potassium permanganate works in order to answer this question. Shown below is oxidation of an alcohol with potassium permanganate. There are two possible products, A and B. Using the infrared spectrum of the actual product provided below, decide whether the product is A or B.   Problem viewing the image, Click Here   IR Correlation Chart (see below)
