JEE PYQ: Aldehydes And Ketones Question 4
Question 4 - 2021 (24 Feb Shift 1)
Which of the following reagent is used for the following reaction?
$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 \xrightarrow{?} \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHO}$
(1). (Manganese acetate)
(2). (Copper at high temperature and pressure)
(3). (Molybdenum oxide)
(4). (Potassium permanganate)
Show Answer
Answer: (2)
Solution
Propane to propanal conversion requires controlled oxidation using Cu at high temperature and pressure. $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 \xrightarrow{\text{Cu/high T, P}} \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHO}$.
