    \[C{{H}_{3}}-C-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{Se{{O}_{2}}}X+Se+{{H}_{2}}O;X\] is

    A)  \[\overset{OO}{\mathop{\overset{||||}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-C-H}}\,}}\,\]

    B)  \[\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-OC{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,\]

    C)  \[\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,}}\,\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[Se{{O}_{2}}\] oxidises compounds containing active methylene (i.e., \[C{{H}_{2}}\] next to carbonyl group) to another \[CO\] group. \[\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow{Se{{O}_{2}}}\overset{OO}{\mathop{\overset{||||}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-C-H}}\,}}\,\]                \[+Se+{{H}_{2}}O\]
