Question

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH underset(I)overset(Cu.573 K)rarr x underset(II)overset([O])rarr y underset(III) overset(Br_(2).P)rarr BrCH_(2)COOH`
Reaction I, II and III are respectively
A. reduction, oxidation and substitution
B. dehydration, oxidation and substitution
C. dehydrohalogenation and substitution
D. dehydration, oxidation and elimination

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH underset("Dehydrogenation")overset(Cu. 573)rarr underset((X)) (CH_(3)CHO) underset("oxidation")overset(|O|)rarr underset((Y))(CH_(3)COOH) underset("Subsitution")overset(Br_(2) //F)rarr underset(Br)underset(|)(CH_(2)) - COOH`
