Reactions of alkenes with KMnO4 and ozone

Alkenes can undergo different reactions with KMnO4 (potassium permanganate) and ozone (O3) depending on the conditions and the type of alkene. When alkenes are treated with KMnO4 in the presence of acidic conditions, they can undergo oxidative cleavage, resulting in the formation of two carbonyl compounds (ketones or aldehydes) and a pair of manganese dioxide…
