Cyclohexene is treated with hot acidic KMnO ₄ to give an intermediate organic product 'A'. Product 'A' is then heated strongly with excess ammonia to give the final product 'B'. The IUPAC name of product 'B' is:

Options

  1. AHexanedioic acid
  2. BCyclohexanecarboxamide
  3. CHexanediamide
  4. DHexane-1,6-diamine

Correct answer

C. Hexanediamide

Step-by-step solution

Cyclohexene undergoes oxidative cleavage of the double bond upon treatment with hot acidic KMnO ₄ , opening the ring to form hexanedioic acid (adipic acid) as product 'A'. When hexanedioic acid is heated strongly with excess ammonia, it first forms an ammonium salt which on strong heating loses water molecules to form an amide. Since it is a dicarboxylic acid, both carboxyl groups are converted to amide groups, yielding hexanediamide (adipamide) as product 'B'. Reaction: Cyclohexene HOOC -( CH ₂)₄- COOH (Product A)
