| Apr 17, 2021 at 13:51 | comment | added | Aniruddha | @C_Lycoris It's not from any standard organic chemistry book. The book is called "Problems in Organic Chemistry", and is basically a chapter-wise question bank for the JEE exam. | |
| Apr 17, 2021 at 13:45 | comment | added | C_Lycoris | May I ask, however which book this came from? | |
| Apr 17, 2021 at 13:43 | comment | added | C_Lycoris | The very fact that 'syn' has been written as 'sym' should've heightened your suspicions regarding this answer, which is blatantly wrong. Cold KMnO4 will produce a meso compound in this case. This is a very standard reaction, and it is surprising that a book messed this one up. I strongly suggest you change the book/material you're studying from. | |
