Vigorous oxidation of the following bicycloalkene breaks the carbon-carbon double bond and converts each carbon of the double bond to a COOH group. Assume that the condi- tions of oxidation have no effect on the configuration of either the starting bicycloalkene or the resulting dicarboxylic acid. Is the dicarboxylic acid produced from this oxidation one enantiomer, a racemic mixture, or a meso compound? vigorous oxidation НООС. СООН
