The compound $CH X_{3} - CH = CH - CH X_{2} - CH X_{2} - CH = C (CH X_{3}) X_{2}$ is treated with hot alkaline $KMnO X_{4}$ followed by $H X_{3} O X^{+}$ . Which statements are correct?

AButanedioic (succinic) acid is formed.
BPropanone is formed.
C $CO X_{2}$ is formed.
DThree different organic products are formed.

Answer: A, B, D

The two C=C bonds are cleaved.

CH X_{3} CH =

gives ethanoic acid, the central

= CH - CH X_{2} CH X_{2} - CH =

unit gives

HOOC - CH X_{2} CH X_{2} - COOH

, and

= C (CH X_{3}) X_{2}

gives propanone. No carbon is lost as

CO X_{2}

, so statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct (three products).
