Oxidation of alkenes by cleavage with acidic or alkaline KMnO_4 or acidic K_2Cr_2O_7 at higher temperature yields products depending upon the nature of alkene. A hot solution of is a strong oxidizing agent which gives only ketones and carboxylic acids and not aldehydes (as they cannot be isolated) Which of these compounds on oxidation with hot KMnOą gives only butanoic acid?
