Alkynes, like alkenes, can be cleaved by reaction with powerful oxidizing agents such as ozone or KMnO4, although the reaction is of little value and I mention it only for completeness. A triple bond is generally less reactive than a double bond and yields of cleavage products are sometimes low. The products obtained [...]

JUST A FEW NOTES FOR OUR BELOVED WATERBLOGGERS:
