JEE Main Chemistry question
Compound 'A' (molecular formula C₃H₈O) is treated with acidified potassium dichromate to form a product 'B' (molecular formula C₃H₆O). 'B' forms a shining silver mirror on warming with ammoniacal silver nitrate. 'B', when treated with an aqueous solution of H₂NCONHNH₂ (semicarbazide), HCl and sodium acetate, gives a product 'C'. Identify the structure of 'C':
Answer: (A)
Solution
A (C₃H₈O, oxidizable, Tollens'-positive product) is n-propanol; dichromate oxidizes it to propanal, CH₃CH₂CHO (B, C₃H₆O,
