The transformation into carboxylic acids of the alkynes takes place with the help of which among the following reagents
Correct answer: B. Potassium permanganate
- A. Potassium chlorate
- B. Potassium permanganate
- C. Potassium dichromate
- D. Potassium chloride
Explanation
Alkynes undergo oxidation to form carboxylic acids, a process that requires strong oxidizing agents. Potassium permanganate is the correct reagent for this transformation. The other options, potassium chlorate, potassium dichromate, and potassium chloride, are all weaker oxidizing agents and not suitable for converting alkynes into carboxylic acids.
