Question

Organic chemistry. Can you please provide answer to this question.

1. There are various alkene constitutional isomers of the molecular formula C6H8 (two degrees of unsaturation). A few of those isomers (compounds A-F) were reacted under vigorous oxidation (with H3O+ and KMnO4) to yield specific products. Please provide the correct structure of the reactants and products in the corresponding boxes that fit the appropriate description. Draw dashes and wedges, where necessary, to show stereogenic centers. Note: you can assume that CO2 will bubble away whenever it is generated. So, if a reaction yields one product and CO2, it is okay to assume that the product is pure because CO2 will bubble away. 1a. 8 pts. Compounds A and B are diasteromers that yield the same products upon vigorous oxidation.

Answer 1

COOH COOH H3C-COOH
