Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CHO}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given product: \( \mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH(OH)CH(CH_3)CHO} \) Break C-C bond between \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) carbons. Acceptor (carbonyl carbon becomes \( \beta \)-carbon): \( \mathrm{CH_3CH_2CHO} \) Donor ( \( \alpha \)-carbon becomes \( \alpha \)-carbon):…
