Question

Show how you would accomplish the following conversions.
1.cis-hex-3-ene to (d,l)-hexane-3,4-diol
2.trans-hex-3-ene to meso-hexane-3,4-diol 3.trans-hex-3-ene to (d,l)-hexane-3,4-diol

Answer 1

1..cis-hex-3-ene to (d,l)-hexane-3,4-diol

For Above Conversion We Use " KMnO4( aq) / LOW Temperature ."

2.

.trans-hex-3-ene to meso-hexane-3,4-diol

For Above Conversion We Use " KMnO4( aq) / LOW Temperature ."

3.

.trans-hex-3-ene to (d,l)-hexane-3,4-diol

For Above Conversion We Use " RCO₃H / H₂O " .
