Which of the following alkenes give only carboxylic acid(s) (no ketone and no ) when treated with hot concentrated acidified ?

  1. A1-methylcyclohexene
  2. B2-methylbut-2-ene
  3. C (hex-3-ene)
  4. Dcyclohexene

Answer: C, D

Hex-3-ene gives two molecules of propanoic acid, and cyclohexene gives hexanedioic acid, so only acids form. 2-Methylbut-2-ene gives propanone together with ethanoic acid, and 1-methylcyclohexene gives 6-oxoheptanoic acid, a keto acid. Each of these contains a ketone group.
