The compound CH3 − C ≡ CH − CH3 on reaction with NaIO4 in the presence of KMnO4 gives:

1. CH3CHO + CO2
2. CH3COCH3
3. CH3COCH3 + CH3COOH
4. CH3COCH3 + CH3CHO

Correct answer: CH3CHO + CO2

Solution

The compound undergoes ozonolysis, resulting in the cleavage of the triple bond and the formation of aldehydes and carbon dioxide.
