COMEDK · Chemistry · 26. Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
When vapours of isopropyl alcohol is passed over heated copper, we get acetone. It is an example for
- A dehydration
- B dehalogenation
- C dehydrohalogenation
- D dehydrogenation
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) dehydrogenation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alcohols are oxidised by passing their vapours over heated copper. \(2^{\circ}\) alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) is oxidised to acetone i.e. it undergoes dehydrogenation as follows :
