Give the oxidation reaction of alkenes with :
hot potassium permanganate solution (`KMnO_4`)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alkenes react with hot potassium permanganate solution. They form acids or ketones.
`CH_2=CH_2 overset("Hot "KMnO_4)to HCOOH underset("Heat")overset([O])to 2CO_2+2H_2O`
`(CH_3)_2C=CH_2 overset("Hot "KMnO_4//H^(+))to (CH_3)_2C=O+CO_2+H_2O`
