JEE Main 2024 Chemistry question
CHCH–OH → (i) Jone's Reagent → P (ii) KMnO (iii) NaOH, CaO. Consider the above reaction sequence and identify the major product P.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Jones reagent gives CH₃COOH; KMnO₄ leaves it unchanged; NaOH/CaO (soda lime) decarboxylates the sodium salt to CH₄.
