    Reagent used for the oxidation of allyl alcohol to acrolein is

    A) \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]                            

    B) \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)   active\[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]                

    D)  \[Os{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Active \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\] is a mild oxidising agent and is used for oxidation of alylic alcohol to the corresponding aldehydes. \[\underset{Allyl\,\,alcohol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=CH-C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\xrightarrow[Mn{{O}_{2}}]{Active}\underset{Acrolein}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=CH-CHO}}\,\]
