Question

Upon heating with acidic KMnO4, an organic compound produces hexan - 1,6- dioic acid as the major product. The starting compound is (A) benzene (B) cyclohexene (C) 1- methylcyclohexene (D) 2- methylcyclohexene

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The starting compound is cyclohexene, which upon heating with acidic

K M n O_{4}

produces hexan

- 1, - 6 -

dioic acid as a major product.

Note Alkene on reaction with cold, aqueous solution of

K M n O_{4}

produces vicinal glycols whereas, hot acidic solution of

K M n O_{4}

oxidises alkenes to ketone which further gets oxidised to acids.
