Butyne-1 on oxidation with hot alkaline KMnO_4 would give

1-butyne on reaction with hot alkaline KMnO_(4) gives:

Oxidation of alkenes by cleavage with the acidic or alkaline KmNO_(4) of acidic K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) at higher temperature yields products depending upon the nature of alkene. A hot solultion of KMnO_(4) is a strong oxidising agent which gives only ketones and carboxylic acids and not aldehydes (as they cannot be isolated). Oxidation of alkenes with OsO_(4) followed by alcoholic NaHSO_(3) or Na_(2)SO_(3) yeilds glycols. Answer the following questions: An alkene 1-methyl cyclohexene on oxidation with hot basic KMnO_(4) gives:

Alkenes undergo a variety of oxidation reactions. With cold and neutral or alkaline KMnO_(4) , alkenes are oxidised to give vicinal diols. Oxidation with hot KMnO_(4) undergoes cleavage of C=C bond leading to the formation of carboxylic acids, ketones and carbon dioxide depending on the nature ofalkene. Reductive ozonolysis of alkenes give aldehydes or ketones. 2-Methyl propene on treatment with hot alkaline KMnO_(4) gives
