MHT CET Chemistry question
An alcohol (A) on oxidation with acidified gives a carboxylic acid (B) . (A) on treatment with conc. produces (C) . (C) on treatment with dil. gives (D) . Compound (D) is isomeric with compound (A). Compound (D) resist oxidation. What are (A) and (D) respectively?
Answer: (D)
Solution
A gives an acid of the same carbon number so A is a primary alcohol; D resists oxidation so D is tert-butyl alcohol, formed by hydration of isobutene, which comes from
