Problems and exercisesOxidation

1. Oxidations of 1-phenylcyclohexene

Predict the result of the following reactions:

1-Phenylcyclohexene with 1) MCPBA, CH₂Cl₂ and 2) H₂O, H⁺; with 1) KMnO₄ or OsO₄ and 2) H₂O, H⁺; with 1) O₃ and 2) Zn, AcOH, and with 1) O₃ and 2) H₂O₂, H⁺

2. Deduce the alkene

Ozonolysis with reductive work-up of an alkene C₆H₁₂ gives acetone and propanal. What is the alkene?

3. Baeyer test

What is observed when a dilute KMnO₄ solution is added to cyclohexene and to cyclohexane? Why?
