Question

An organic compound (A) (molecular formula C 8 H 16 O 2 ) was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). (C) on dehydration gives but-1-ene. What are the structural formulas of A,B, and C?

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. A=CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 , B=CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH, and C=CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH

Correct Option is : (D) A=CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 , B=CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH, and C=CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH
