An alkene on vigarous oxidation with

KMn{O_4}

gives only acetic acid. The alkene is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

C{H_3}CH = CHC{H_3}

Option B is correct because the vigorous oxidation of 2-butene (

\mathrm{CH_3CH=CHCH_3}

) with KMnO4 cleaves the double bond, resulting in two molecules of acetic acid (

\mathrm{CH_3COOH}

).
