Question

Product A and B for the following reactions are as follows

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Explanation for the correct answer:

Option (C):

• The reaction of Cyclohexene with cold dilute Potassium permanganate $\left({\mathrm{KMnO}}_4\right)$ forms Cyclohexane-1,2-diol.

• When Cyclohexene reacts with hot acidic Potassium permanganate $\left({\mathrm{KMnO}}_4\right)$, oxidation cleavage occurs.
• The double bond in the Cyclohexene is broken and Carboxylic acid groups are added resulting in the formation of Adipic acid.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (A):

• Product B is correct and but product A is incorrect as reaction with cold aqueous potassium permanganate results in the formation of cyclohexane-1,2-diol.
• Hence it is the incorrect option

Option (B):

1. Product A is correct but product B is incorrect. The reaction of cyclohexene with hot acidic potassium permanganate forms adipic acid.
2. Hence it is the incorrect option.

Option (D): None of these

• As our correct answer is option C, thus none of the above cannot be the answer.
• hence it is the incorrect answer

Therefore, products ‘A’ and ‘B’ are option (C)
