Hydroxylation of alkene can be carried out by? a. Alkaline KMnO4 b. H2SO4 c. NaOH d. HCl
Answer: Alkaline KMnO4
Explanation
Hydroxylation of alkene can be carried out by alkaline KMnO4.
Hydroxylation refers to the addition of two hydroxyl (OH) groups across a carbon-carbon double bond in an alkene.
Cold, dilute, alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a common reagent used for this reaction.
It reacts with the alkene to form a vicinal diol (a molecule with two hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms).
