Question

explain why the colour of baeyer's reagent gets discharged when treated with an alkene​

Answer 1

The color of Bayer reagent gets discharged when treated with an alkene due to the oxidation of an alkene.

Bayer reagent is an Alkaline solution cold of potassium permanganate primarily act as a powerful oxidant. When Bayer reagent comes to contact with an alkene, the alkene is oxidized to glycol which is the reason behind the discharged color of Bayer reagent whereas permanganate reduced to Mno2 which gives Brown color.
