MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

Cyclohexene by oxidation by in dilute produces

(A)benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid
(B)pent-2-enoic acid
(C)hexane-1, 6-dioic acidCorrect
(D)benzene-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid

Answer: (C)

Solution

Acidified is a strong oxidising agent that cleaves the C=C bond of an alkene. In cyclohexene both carbons of the double bond are , so each becomes a group; because the double bond is in a ring, ring opening gives a
