Predict the product
e) Do either left or right. If you have time at the end to do both, I will count your best one.

The image depicts a chemical reaction scheme with a six-membered cyclic compound that includes an alcohol group (OH) and a carbonyl group (C=O), along with methyl (CH₃) groups attached to the ring. The structure is shown as follows:

- At the top of the ring, there is a hydroxyl group (OH).
- On the top left bond adjacent to the hydroxyl group, there is a carbonyl group (C=O).
- A hydroxyl group (OH) is also attached to the bottom left.
- Methyl groups (CH₃) are attached to the bottom.

Two reaction pathways are indicated:

1. **Left Pathway:**
   - Reagent: KMnO₄ (excess)
   - Condition: Heat
   - The arrow points to the left, suggesting an oxidative process.

2. **Right Pathway:**
   - Reagent: H₂SO₄
   - Condition: Dehydration (indicated by "- H₂O")
   - The arrow points to the right, suggesting dehydration likely leading to an alkene formation.

This reaction scheme allows for either an oxidative or a dehydration reaction depending on the conditions and reagents used.
