is this the answer??
A = CH3-COOH
B = COOH - COOH
help out!
seems i have forgotten class 10 stuff :( hope i donthave alzeimers soon :P
CH3-C≡C-COOH + KMnO4 + Δ → A + B
identify A and B!!
how can i forget this :(:(:(
alkynes give acid on oxidation?
this topic is totally out of my head! :(
arre!
i DO NOT know!
i remember nothing of this!
was going thrugh my copy could nt find this!
so posted this!
Yup. It's right. The oxidation of alkyne by KMnO4 depends entirely on medium it is carried by. If the medium had been neutral (that is no heat in this case), then a diketone is formed for normal alkyne.
