Question

Identify the products formed in the following reaction${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2-\mathrm{CH}-C\equiv C-H\underset{\Delta }{\overset{{\mathrm{KMnO}}_4/{\mathrm{HO}}^{-}}{\to }}$

• A. ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2-\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{COOH}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2$
• B. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-\mathrm{COOH}+{\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}$
• C. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3-\mathrm{COOH}+C_2{H}_5\mathrm{CH}=O$
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is A ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2-\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{COOH}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2$

This is an example of oxidation reaction.
${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2-\mathrm{CH}-C\equiv C-H\underset{\Delta }{\overset{{\mathrm{KMnO}}_4/{\mathrm{HO}}^{-}}{\to }}$$(C{H}_3{)}_2-CH-COOH$ + $C{O}_2$
