For Multi-Step Synthesis of Benzocaine:

1) Why don't we simply oxidize p-toluidine with KMnO4 to make p-aminobenzoic acid? Wouldn't that be a fsater method? What unwanted reaction(s) may occur?

2)The isolation of p-aminobenzoic acid is the trickiest step due to the formation of an amino compound. Why don't we do the esterification step prior to the deprotection step?
