JEE Main Chemistry question
A hydrocarbon adds one mole of H to give another hydrocarbon that decolourises bromine water; reacts with acidic KMnO to give two moles of the same carboxylic acid. is best described as a symmetric internal alkyne that is only partially reduced by the one equivalent of H (leaving a still-reactive alkene), and whose full oxidative cleavage gives two equal portions of the same acid.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Giving two moles of the *same* acid on oxidative cleavage requires perfect symmetry about the unsaturated linkage, which, combined with the compound
