No ..

At least u must warm it when using acidified KMnO4

 

and u must reflux or heat it when using alkaline KMnO4 ..

 

If no heat is provide the reaction will take place in a very very slow rate or mayb no reaction occurs .

 

Or u will get a intermediate product .. that is Ethanal .. if u distillate it .
