Question: Identify X in the following sequence: $ \underset{(X)}{\mathop{C_3H_8O}}\xrightarrow[H_2SO_4]{K_2Cr_2O_7}C_3H_6O\xrightarrow[I_2+NaOH]{warn}CHI_3 $
Options:
A) $ CH_3CH_2CH_2OH $
B) $ CH_3CH(OH)CH_3 $
C) $ CH_3OCH_2CH_3 $
D) $ CH_3CH_2CHO $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] Since the compound $ X(C_3H_6O) $ gives iodoform test, it must have $ -COCH_3 $ groups hence it should be $ CH_3COCH_3 $ . Therefore X should be $ CH_3CH(OH)CH_3 $ .
