Vedclass · Answer

(D) Primary alcohols (like ethanol) and secondary alcohols (like $2$-propanol) are easily oxidized by $K_2Cr_2O_7$ and dilute $H_2SO_4$ to aldehydes/carboxylic acids and ketones,respectively.Acetaldehyde is also easily oxidized to acetic acid.Acetone (propanone) is a ketone and is resistant to oxidation under mild conditions like dilute $H_2SO_4$ and $K_2Cr_2O_7$ because it requires the breaking of a strong $C-C$ bond.Therefore,acetone fails to react under these specific conditions.
