Oxidative Cleavage of Alkynes with O3 and KMnO4

The oxidative cleavage of alkynes is typically achieved with ozonolysis or by reacting them with a basic or acidic solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO₄). For internal alkynes, the products of the reaction are a pair of carboxylic acids, and for ... Read more The post Oxidative Cleavage of Alkynes with O3 and KMnO4 appeared first on Chemistry Steps .
