Organic - alkene oxidation with MnO4-
« on: October 10, 2009, 12:25:35 AM »


Is it A?

The answer says it's B

Is that because the answer asks giving ethanoic acid only?

Since A will give ethanoic acid & Carbon dioxide. Its not A

Whereas B gives 2 ethanoic acids so it gives only acid. Right??

Bit confused here  :P

Answer B is correct. That compound will give only ethanoic acid. As you have written, the compound A will give ethanoic acid and carbon dioxide, so it couldn't be correct.
