    The best reagent to convert pent-3-en-2-ol into pent-3-en-2-one is

    A)  pyridinium chloro-chromate

    B)  chromic anhydride in glacial acetic acid

    C)  acidic dichromate

    D)  acidic permanganate

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{{{2}^{o}}}{\mathop{\underset{\underset{OH}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,H-CH=CH-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-CH=CH-C{{H}_{3}}\] Only suitable reagent is chromic anhydride in glacial acetic acid. Other will also effect \[(C=C)\]bond.
