Explanation / Answer

As after dehydration the olefine will generate then we can see by KMnO4 test.

Here after running the reaction mixture on the TLC plate we need to dipped the TLC in the KMnO4/NaOH solution.

Now to the olefine dihydroxylation occure. So the spot will show immediately brown colour.
