Oxidation of alcohols. Image 1 of 2. Start of an oxidation of three alcohols (labelled) by potassium manganate (VII) solution (also known as potassium permanganate,KMnO4,purple). The manganate is a strong oxidizing agent that is reduced when it reacts,turning colourless). Primary and secondary alcohols can be oxidized,but tertiary alcohols cannot.
