Suggest a suitable oxidising agent for the given conversion.
`(CH_(3))_(2)C = CH-COCH_(3) to (CH_(3))_(2) C= CHCOOH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alkaline `KMnO_(4)orHNO_(3)orK_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)//H^(+)` cannot be used for this purpose they all will result into oxidative cleavage at the double bond, hence oxidation by NaOH + `I_(2)` (or NaOl) is the most suitable method for this conversion.
