[figure]
The figure, in words
Stem structure: five-membered ring with CH3 on one ring carbon; a double bond is drawn between that ring carbon and the ring carbon below it. Reagent over first arrow: dil. KMnO4, 273 K; over second arrow: CrO3.- (1)A: [figure: five-membered ring with one ring carbon bearing CH3 and OH, and the adjacent ring carbon bearing OH] B: [figure: five-membered ring with CH3 on one ring carbon; a ring double bond between that carbon and its upper ring neighbour, and its other ring neighbour (below) drawn as C=O]
- (2)A: [figure: five-membered ring with one ring carbon bearing CH3 and OH, and the adjacent ring carbon bearing OH] B: [figure: five-membered ring with one ring carbon bearing CH3 and OH, and the adjacent ring carbon drawn as C=O]Official answer
- (3)A: [figure: five-membered ring with one ring carbon bearing CH3 and the adjacent ring carbon bearing OH] B: [figure: five-membered ring with one ring carbon bearing CH3 and the adjacent ring carbon drawn as C=O]
