Question

example of baeyer's reagent​

Answer 1

KMnO4 is used in qualitative organic analysis to test for the presence of unsaturation. It is sometimes referred to as Baeyer's reagent after the German organic chemist Adolf von Baeyer . The reagent is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate

Answer 2

Explanation:

$\huge{\purple{Answer}}$

• Baeyer's reagent is an alkaline solution of cold potassium permanganate (KMnO4).
• This solution interacts with an unsaturated compound (e.g., alkene and alkyne), changing its pinkish-purple color to brown. The alkene is oxidized to a 1,2-diol, while the permanganate is reduced to manganese dioxide (MnO2).
