Options:
A) $ CH_3-\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}H-CH_2-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-H $
B) $ CH_3-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_2-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-H $
C) $ CH_3-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_2-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-OH $
D) $ CH_3-\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}H-CH_2-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-OH $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] $ CrO_3 $ / pyridine is mild oxidising agent. $ 1{}^\circ $ Alcohol $ \to $ Aldehyde $ 2{}^\circ $ Alcohol $ \to $ Ketone; $ CH_3-\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}H-CH_2-CH_3-OH\xrightarrow{CrO_3} $
$ CH_3-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_2-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-H $
