When different alkenes are treated with hot concentrated KMInO4 solution, different products are obtained. Which of the following alkenes produces two moles ketone?
Correct answer: B. R - CH = CH - R
- A. H2C = CH2
- B. R - CH = CH - R
- C. R1R2C = CR3R4
- D. R1R2C = CH3R4
Explanation
This(R - CH = CH - R) represents a generic structure for a disubstituted alkene. The reaction will produce two moles of carbonyl compounds, including both aldehydes and ketones.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
