JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3hc041

Cyclohexene is heated with hot concentrated acidified $KMnO X_{4}$ . The product is

Ahexanedial
Bhexanedioic acid (adipic acid)
Ccyclohexane-1,2-diol
Dcyclohexanone

Answer: B

The ring double bond is cleaved, and each carbon (each bearing an H) becomes

COOH

. The six-carbon chain is therefore capped with two carboxylic acid groups:

HOOC - (CH X_{2}) X_{4} - COOH

.
