Question

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

Short answer

is a strong oxidising agent. In oxidative cleavage, leads to the formation of 1,2-diol which leads to formation of the carboxylic acid and is converted to brown .

Step-by-step solution

Oxidation by KMnO4

is a strong oxidising agent. In oxidative cleavage, leads to the formation of 1,2-diol which leads to formation of the carboxylic acid and is converted to brown .
