What are X and Y respectively in the following reaction sequence? \(\text{Iso-pentane} \xrightarrow{\text{KMnO}_4} X \xrightarrow{\substack{20\% \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 \\ 358\text{K}}} Y \)
Show Hint
Strong oxidation of alkanes by $\text{KMnO}_4$ occurs most readily at the tertiary C-H bond, replacing it with C-OH. Dehydration of alcohols follows Zaitsev's rule, favoring the formation of the most stable (most substituted) alkene product.
