When compound X is oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate, compound Y is formed. Compound Y on reduction with LiAlH ₄ gives X . X and Y respectively are :
Options
- AC ₂ H ₅ OH , CH ₃ COOH
- BCH ₃ COCH ₃, CH ₃ COOH
- CC ₂ H ₅ OH , CH ₃ COCH ₃
- DCH ₃ CHO , CH ₃ COCH ₃
Correct answer
A. C ₂ H ₅ OH , CH ₃ COOH
Step-by-step solution
When ethyl alcohol is oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate, CH ₃ COOH ( Y ) is obtained as : 3 C ₂ H ₅ OH (X)+2 ~K ₂ Cr ₂ O ₇+8 H ₂ SO ₄ 3 CH ₃ COOH (Y)+2 Cr ₂ ( SO ₄ )₃+2 ~K ₂ SO ₄+11 H ₂ O Carboxylic acid undergo reduction with LiAlH ₄ to give primary alcohol as So, X is CH ₃ CH ₂ OH and Y is CH ₃ COOH
