A) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] \[X\xrightarrow{PCC}Y\xrightarrow{{{I}_{2}}/alkali}CH{{I}_{3}}\] Compund Y must give iodoform test. Further since Y is obtained by the oxidation of X which must be an alcohol \[(C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH)\] and thus Y is \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO.\]You need to login to perform this action.
