The lab manual suggests that kmno4 can oxidize an alkene


The lab manual suggests that KMnO4 can oxidize an alkene into a diol before cleavage of the C-C bond. If the reaction was stopped at the diol stage (as suggested in Chapter 8 of Wade), what diols would beproduced from the Z and E isomers of 2-pentene? Name them.
