This is the question from the lab of "comparision of three isomers of butanol" GR 12 pg 84
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Could you oxidize t-butanol and still maintain the t-butyl structure? Tell us about the three isomers of butanol you are familiar with, please.
 
there is no reaction if you try to oxidise t-butanol (tertiary alcohol) with kmno4.
