An organic compound X is oxidised by using acidified K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7). The product obtained reacts with phenyl hydrazine but does not answer silver mirror test. The possible structure of X is |
|
Answer» `CH_(3)COCH_(3)` `gt C=0` group. The same product does not answer silver mirror test thus, it is a ketone, because only aldehydes GIVE this test. Thus the compound X must be a `2^(@)` alcohol, as only SECONDARY alcohols give KETONES on oxidation and hence X is `CH_(3))_(2)CHOH`.
