Chapter 8: Q. 52d E (page 262)

Show the structures of alkenes that give the following products on oxidative cleavage with in acidic solution

d.CHC3H2C=OCH2CH2CH2CH2CO2H

Short Answer

Expert verified

KMnO4is a strong oxidising agent. In oxidative cleavage,KMnO4leads to the formation of 1,2-diol which leads to formation of the carboxylic acid andKMnO4is converted to brown MnO2.

The colour changes from purple to brown and diol lead to produce two adjacent alcoholic groups.
