Hey there, i've got a question and the answer is prolly very easy so don't laugh at me.
i'm just doing a chemistry assignment and one of the questons is
A chemist requires some 3-hexanone for a reaction, but only has some 3-hexene available. Explain using chemical reactions, how the 3-hexene could be converted to 3-hexanone.
so i'm guessing i go c6h12 + 02 --------> 2c6h12o
2c6h12 +02 --------> 2c6h12o
but i just don't think it's right so i was wondering if anyone could explain it to me cause i dunno i'm dumb at this stuff haha
cheers rhian

Here is one of possible synthesis schemes:
1) CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-CH3 + H2O --> CH3-CH2-CHOH-CH2-CH2-CH3
2) 5 CH3-CH2-CHOH-CH2-CH2-CH3 + 2 KMnO4 + 3 H2SO4 --> 5 CH3-CH2-CO-CH2-CH2-CH3 + K2SO4 + 2 MnSO4 +8 H2O
