Solution
The correct options are ACH3COOH DCO2
This is an example of oxidative cleavage of an alkene with hot alkaline potassium permangante. The oxidative cleavage of propene gives acetic acid and formic acid. Formic acid further decomposes to water and carbon dioxide.
The reaction is as follows: CH3−CH=CH2H+,KMnO4−−−−−−−−→heatCH3COOH+HCOOH HCOOH[O]−→H2O+CO2
