Question

What is bare regent?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Baeyer's reagent is an alkaline solution of cold potassium permanganate, which is a powerful oxidant making this a redox reaction. Reaction with double or triple bonds (-C=C- or -C≡C-) in an organic material causes the color to fade from purplish-pink to brown. It is a syn addition reaction.

The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is an organic reaction that forms an ester from a ketone or a lactone from a cyclic ketone, using peroxyacids or peroxides as the oxidant. The reaction is named after Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger who first reported the reaction in 1899.

Answer 2

Answer:

Baeyer's reagent is an alkaline solution of cold potassium permanganate of violet colour solution. It is a strong oxidizing agent. As this solution interacts with a double bond compound the colour disappears and becomes colourless. Properties of KMNO4: It dissolves in water to give intensely pink or purple solutions.
