Q4. Which sequence of steps below describes the best synthesis of 5 – oxohexanoic acid starting with 1 – methylcyclopentan – 1 – ol
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
5 – oxohexanoic acid starting with 1 – methylcyclopentan – 1 – ol can be synthesized using conc H2SO4 which will cause dehydration forming alkene which with KMnO4opens the ring and forms 1 – methylcyclopentan – 1 – ol.
