JEE PYQ: Hydrocarbons Question 7

Question 7 - 2021 (24 Feb Shift 1)

Identify products A and B:

A cyclopentene derivative with $\text{CH}_3$ $\xrightarrow{\text{dil. KMnO}_4,\ 273\text{K}}$ A $\xrightarrow{\text{CrO}_3}$ B

(1) A: cyclopentane-1,2-diol with $\text{CH}_3$; B: cyclopentane-1,2-dione with $\text{CH}_3$

(2) A: cyclopentanediol; B: dihydroxyl product

(3) A: $\text{OHC}-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2-\text{C}(-\text{CH}_3)=\text{O}$; B: $\text{HOOC}-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2-\text{C}(-\text{CH}_3)=\text{O}$

(4) A: diol on ring; B: ketone on ring

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution

Dil. $\text{KMnO}_4$ at 273 K gives syn-dihydroxylation (cis-diol). $\text{CrO}_3$ oxidizes secondary alcohol to ketone on the ring.
