For above chemical reactions, identify the correct statement from the following:
- ABoth compound and compound are dicarboxylic acids
- BBoth compound and compound are diols
- CCompound is diol and compound is dicarboxylic acid
- Correct answerDCompound is dicarboxylic acid and compound is diol
Solution

in acidic medium is very strong oxidising agent due to which carboxylic acid is produced from alkene. in neutral medium is not very strong oxidising agent therefore, syn hydroxylation occurs and diol is produced from alkene.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
