Reaction between 1-methylcyclopentanol and potassium permanganate In my basic organic chemistry class, I learned that only primary and secondary alcohols undergo oxidation (using $\ce{KMnO4}$).

However, what is the outcome of reacting tertiary alcohol (1-methylcyclopentanol) with a strong oxidant like $\ce{KMnO4}$ with no heat?

P.S. I am specifically interested to know what happens with no heat, because according to my minimal knowledge I know if heat was added then it is dehydration.
There is no reaction. 
t-BuOH may be used as a solvent for permanganate reactions. For example, see Abiko et al. [1].
