An unsaturated compound `C_(6)H_(12)` A) decolourless `Br_(2)`. Water and on oxidation by acidified `KMnO_(4)` gives optically active carboxylic acid `C_(4)H_(9)COOH` (B). Give the structure of (A) and (B).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Compound is unsaturated because it is decolouring `Br_(2)` water. On oxidation it gives a carboxylic acid with one carbon atom less than alkene, it shows that corresponds is terminal alkene. Thus, structure of terminal alkene with chiral carbon can be given as:
