This video takes you through the various oxidation and reduction reactions you've covered back in alkene and alkyne reactions.
In this video we differentiate between redox reactions vs reactions that add oxygen/hydrogen without a net reduction.
This video also compares different types of oxidative cleavage reactions using Ozonolysis and KMnO4 for terminal and internal alkenes and alkynes

Thanks a lot for good representation
You are amazing!
Hi Leah!! Thank you so much for all your help! Quick question, at 7:08, shouldn’t KMnO4 occur in hot, acidic solutions for the carboxylic acid to occur?
Thanks so much Leah!!
You’re welcome Ruvuguta
Very nice
