Question

Identify all of the following reagents that could be used to accomplish the following transformation. (More than one answer is possible.) A) mCPBA B) DMD C) cold KMnO₄ D) 1) Br₂ / H₂O, 2) NaH

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mCPBA and DMD are both oxidizing agents that can convert alkenes to epoxides. Br2/ H2O2 followed by NaH can also be used to accomplish the same transformation. KMnO4 is a powerful oxidizing agent that can convert alkenes to diols but at high temperatures. Therefore, it is not the best choice for this particular transformation.
