Is fusion with alkali in the presence of air possible?

Is fusion with alkali in the presence of air possible? Correct Answer Yes

Fusion with alkali in the presence of air (oxygen) often accomplishes oxidations impossible to obtain otherwise. For instance, the formation of oxyacids from substituted phenols by direct oxidation of side chains is difficult of accomplishment because of the much greater susceptibility of the hydroxyl group to attack and consequent tendency for the breakdown of the molecule. Alkali fusion accomplishes the desired reaction but with poor yields.
