Question:How would you carry out the following transformations? Tell what
reagents you would use in each case.
(a)
Short Answer
Answer
In this reaction, the reagent which we will use is :
Step by step solution
Cyclopentene
It is a five-membered cyclic ring containing one double bond. Its chemical formula is . Its odor is petrol, and it is a colorless compound. It lies in the category of cycloalkene, and it contains an endocyclic (these bonds are present inside the cyclic ring) double bond.
Reagent used for the reaction
The double bond of a cyclic alkene can be oxidized to form vicinal diol with the help of two reagents first is in the cold basic solution, and the other one is osmium tetraoxide in the presence of NMO.
Reaction of cyclopentene
When we treat our reactant (cyclopentene) in the presence of osmium tetraoxide and NMO, the yield of the product will be higher than that of potassium permanganate.
Hence, the reagent for the above reaction is :
