benzoic acid
If we have methyl benzene or any alkyl benzene or secondary alkyl attached to benzene as above, oxidation is possible.... ?
If we have a tertiary alkyl attached, e.g in tert-butylbenzene, oxidation not possible????

yes and yes
Thank you...
One more thing, why no reaction between HBr and phenol?

Br- nucleophile repelled by the ring electrons
Addition reaction would break the very stable ring structure

so this means substituting OH of phenol is hard...?

is there any example where OH of phenol gets substituted?

Yes. C-O bond is strengthened by overlap of lone pair of electrons on O over the ring.
