Which of the following will undergo periodic oxidation?

Answer»

a.
b.
c.
d.Glyoxal

Solution :a. Two (-OH) GROUPS are at adjacent and SYN (CIS) positions. So it undergoes periodic OXIDATION.
b. Although two (-OH) group are at adjacent POSITION but in anti (trans) position, so it does not undergo periodic oxidation.
Two

group are in adjacent position, so it undergoes periodic oxidation.
d. Glyxal `(underset(CH=O)overset(CH=O)|)`, two `(-CHO)`groups are in adjacent position so it undersgoes periodic oxidation. So the answer are `(a), (c )` and `(d)`.
