Secondary alcohol

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The molecular formula $C_3H_8O$ corresponds to either a primary alcohol $(CH_3CH_2CH_2OH)$,a secondary alcohol $(CH_3CH(OH)CH_3)$,or an ether $(CH_3OCH_2CH_3)$.Upon oxidation,a primary alcohol yields an aldehyde $(C_3H_6O)$,and a secondary alcohol yields a ketone $(C_3H_6O)$.Since the product $C_3H_6O$ is formed,$X$ must be an alcohol.Among the given options,$X$ can be a secondary alcohol (specifically propan$-2-$ol),which oxidizes to propanone $(C_3H_6O)$.

Column-$I$ (Compound)	Column-$II$ (Major Product)
$A$. $1$-Methylcyclohexanol	$i$. $1$-Methylcyclohexene
$B$. Butan-$1$-ol	$ii$. But-$1$-ene
$C$. tert-Butyl alcohol	$iii$. Isobutylene
$D$. Butan-$2$-ol	$iv$. But-$2$-ene

$A$ compound $X$ with the molecular formula $C_3H_8O$ yields a compound with the formula $C_3H_6O$ upon oxidation. To which of the following classes of compounds could $X$ belong?
