Alkenes (A) and (B) yield the same alcohol (C) on hydration. On vigorous oxidation with KMnO_4, (A) gives a carbonyl compound (D) and an acid (E) each containing four carbon atoms. On the other hand, (B) gives an acid (E) and a carbonyl compound (G). In (G) no two identical groups are attached to the same carbon atom. Give the structures of (A) to (G).

Alkenes (A) and (B) yield the same alcohol (C) on hydration. On vigoro

1.	Alkenes (A) and (B) yield the same alcohol (C) on hydration. On vigorous oxidation with KMnO_4, (A) gives a carbonyl compound (D) and an acid (E) each containing four carbon atoms. On the other hand, (B) gives an acid (E) and a carbonyl compound (G). In (G) no two identical groups are attached to the same carbon atom. Give the structures of (A) to (G).
Answer» SOLUTION :(i)SINCE alkene (A) on oxidation gives a carbonyl compound (D) and an acid (E)of four carbon atoms each. (ii) Alkene (A) and (B) give same alcohol on hydration and THUS compound (B) can only be (iii) Hydration of (A) and (B) give the same alcohol:
