Which of the following alcohols needs acidic \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}\) to convert it into aldehyde or ketone?
- A Ethanol
- B propan-1-ol
- C propan-2-ol
- D 2 -Methy 1 propan \(-2\) -ol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 2 -Methy 1 propan \(-2\) -ol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
2-methyl propan-2-ol
To convert 2-methyl propan-2-ol to ketone, acidic \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}\) is required.
Under strong reaction conditions such as powerful oxidising agents \(\left(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}\right)\) and extreme temperature, cleavage of various \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}\) bonds occurs.
