Can u give the mechanism for this.. e is heated with hot kmno, solution, cleavage of the c = c bond occur

yntneSes where y1elds of the (b) Oxidation with hot KMnO, solution ) Alkenes. When an alkene is heated with hot KMnO, solution, cleavage of the C = C bond occurs leading to the formation of carboxylic acids, ketones and carbon dioxide depending upon the nature of the alkene as shown below: With teminal alkenes, one of the products is always methanoic acid (formic acid) which on further oxidation gives CO, + H,O. For example, O KMnO4. KOH 2[H-C-OH] 2 C0, + 2H,O CH, CH, + 4 [O] 373-383 K Ethene Methanoic acid (Formic acid) Sn (Ethylene)
