Cyclohexene + potassium permanganate (1 Viewer)

[joshuaali]

Would anybody be so kind as to show me the products of the reaction between cyclohexene and potassium permanganate please?

C6H10 (l) + KMnO4 (aq) -> ?

Thankyou to anybody who can answer within 24 hours from now. If not, I'll have the answer tomorow (when I can grab a hold of my chemistry book).

My guess is 1,2-Cyclohexanediol + Manganese dioxide + Potassium on its own?
Hm... potassium wouldn't be on its own.

PS: The potassium permanganate was acidified with sulfuric acid, but I believe the acid was just a catalyst (am I right?).

My second guess would be:
Cyclohexene + potassium permanganate + water -> 1,2-Cyclohexanediol + manganese dioxide + potassium hydroxide

Though I haven't been able to balance the latter.

The latter, when balanced is:
3C₆H₁₀ + 2KMnO₄ + 4H₂O --> 3C₆H₁₂O₂ + 2MnO₂ + 2KOH.

Though, I am fairly sure that the equation is actually:
3C₆H₁₀ + 8KMnO₄ + 4H₂O --> 3C₆H₁₀O₄ + 8KOH + 8MnO₂

Please inform/correct. Thanks.
