Cyclohexene on oxidation by KMnO ₄ in dilute H ₂ SO ₄ produces

Options

  1. Abenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid
  2. Bpent-2-enoic acid
  3. Chexane-1,6-dioic acid
  4. Dbenzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid

Correct answer

C. hexane-1,6-dioic acid

Step-by-step solution

Cyclohexene is a cyclic alkene containing a six-membered ring with one double bond. When treated with a strong oxidizing agent like KMnO ₄ in an acidic medium (dilute H ₂ SO ₄ ), the carbon-carbon double bond undergoes oxidative cleavage. The ring opens up, and the two vinylic carbon atoms are fully oxidized to carboxylic acid groups. Since cyclohexene contains six carbon atoms, the resulting product is a straight-chain dicarboxylic acid with six carbon atoms. The product is HOOC -( CH ₂)₄- COOH , which is hexane-1
