C H 3 2 C = C H C O C H 3 can be oxidized to C H 3 2 C = C H C O O H by
Options
- Achromic acid
- BNaOI, followed by acidification
- CCu at 573 K
- DK M n O 4 + H 2 S O 4
Correct answer
B. NaOI, followed by acidification
Step-by-step solution
C H 3 2 C = C H C O C H 3 is a methyl ketone and therefore, it can be easily oxidized to C H 3 2 C C H C O O H by haloform or iodoform reaction (NaOI). ( C H 3 ) 2 C = C H C O C H 3 → N a O I ( C H 3 ) 2 C = C H C O C I 3 → N a O H C H I 3 + ( C H 3 ) 2 C = C H C O O N a → ( C H 3 ) 2 C = C H C O O H Chromic acid and K M n O 4 , being strong oxidizing agents, will also attack the multiple bond and cause the cleavage giving the mixture of carboxylic acids.
