An organic compound (A) C_(3)H_(8)O answers Lucas test within 5-10 minutes andon oxidation forms B (C_(3)H_(6)O). This on further oxidation forms C(C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)) which gives effevescence with Na_(2)CO_(3) also undergoes iodoform reaction. Identify A, B, and C. Explain the conversion of A to B and C.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Isopropyl ALCOHOL (A).
(ii) (B) on oxidation GIVES (B).
`underset((A))underset(OH)underset(|)(CH_(3)-CH-CH_(2)) overset(O) to underset((B))underset(O)underset(||)C-CH_(3)`
(B) on further oxidation gives (C ) whichgives brisk efferescence with `Na_(2)CO_(3)`.
`CH_(3)-underset(B)underset(O)underset(||)C-CH_(3) + I_(2) + KOH to CHI_(3) + CH_(3)COOH`
