Question

Which of the following reagent combinations will cause the complete oxidative cleavage of a carbon-carbon double bond, definitively converting any intermediate aldehyde fragments into carboxylic acids?

Answer: B,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Reagent A represents reductive ozonolysis, which stops at aldehydes/ketones. Reagent D causes only syn-dihydroxylation (forming a diol without cleaving the C-C sigma bond). Reagents B (oxidative ozonolysis) and C (strong oxidation) fully cleave the double bond and aggressively oxidize the resulting fragments to maximum states (carboxylic acids or ketones).
