Three possible causes.

The first and most obvious is sunburn. Plants especially plants that have been kept indoors or in a protected environment are susceptible to this if they are suddenly exposed to bright, direct sunlight.

The second could be that the plant has been sprayed with something - herbicide or even a pesticide or fungicide applied at the incorrect concentration.

Third cause would be a nutrient imbalance - deficiency or excess

Long-term growth in the dark (several weeks) if you need the plant alive. Short term soaking in alcohol will remove the majority of the pigments from the leaf. 95% Ethanol or 70% isopropanol for 30-minutes should do the trick.
