Cyclohexene is heated with concentrated alkaline $KMnO X_{4}$ and then acidified with $H X_{3} O X^{+}$ . The organic product is

Hot concentrated

KMnO X_{4}

cleaves the

C = C

bond, and each alkene carbon bearing H ends as

COOH

. Ring opening of cyclohexene thus gives

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

, hexanedioic (adipic) acid.
