Options
- AC H 3 COO C H 2 C H 3
- BC H 3 C H 2 O C O C H 2 C H 3
- CCH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OCOCH 3
- DC H 3 C H 2 O C O C H 2 C H 2 C H 3
Correct answer
A. C H 3 COO C H 2 C H 3
Step-by-step solution
This ester undergoes reduction with L i A l H 4 to give only ethyl alcohol, other esters given in option on reduction gives a mixture of alcohols. CH 3 COOCH 2 CH 3 + 4 H → LiAlH 4 ether 2 CH 3 CH 2 OH
