    \[2C{{H}_{3}}COOH\underset{{{300}^{o}}C}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{MnO}}}\,A\], product 'A' in the reaction is [RPMT 2003]

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]     

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-OH\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]        

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\underset{O}{\mathop{||}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,-O-\underset{\underset{O}{\mathop{||}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[2C{{H}_{3}}COOH\underset{{{300}^{o}}C}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{MnO}}}\,\underset{\text{Acetone}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
