What is the exact mechanism of permanganate oxidation of side chain derivatives of benzene? Is it same for all functional groups? I want to know that in any situation I mean when side chain has only one benzylic hydrogen gives the carboxylic acid. Why does it occur?

I have changed the question. @Mithoron I wanted to know why exactly this is occurring. Even with one benzylic hydrogen, the product is same. Is there any definitive answer to my question? – Uday Feb 09 '18 at 17:12

Answer to original describes mechanism in general way. And does answer this. – Mithoron Feb 09 '18 at 17:16

But I want more exact mechanism for my question. – Uday Feb 10 '18 at 14:34
