Aromatic Side-Chain Oxidation: o-Chlorobenzoic Acid from o-Chlorotoluene

Q)
Supply a correctly balanced equation for this reaction (Hint: It is easiest to determine the oxidation state of the methyl carbon of the toluene, and the carbonyl carbon of the acid. Also, determine the oxidation states for the manganese in both the permanganate ion and the MnO2. Balance the equation based on the correct number of electrons gained, and lost.)
