Hi,
Assuming there is no error in the question, can an alkene C6H12 (structure is not given; elucidation of structure is the whole point of the question) be oxidized to give 2 isomeric products of C3H6O?
The question gives no additional information regarding the mechanism/reagents of the oxidation.
The obvious compound with formula C3H6O is propanone, H3C(C=O)CH3. But it is non-isomeric. There is no chiral carbon, no cis-trans isomerism, etc.
There are two (possibly more) other compounds with formula C3H6O, an enol (cis-trans) and an epoxide (chiral C), but neither appears to be obtainable by oxidizing an alkene C6H12.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
