Oxidation of an alkene (X) gives a diol....

Oxidation of an alkene `(X)` gives a diol. Further oxidation gives a diketone. Which one of the following could be `X`?

A

`(CH_(3))_(2)=C(CH_(3))_(2)`

B

`CH_(3)C=C(CH_(2))`

C

`(CH_(3))_(2)CHCH=CH_(2)`

D

`C_(6)H_(5)CH=CHC_(6)H_(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since the diol on further oxidation form a diketone therefore, the diol must be monosubstiuted, i.e. it must contains `2^(@)` alcoholic group. Therefore, option(D) is correct.
