Question

In the given reaction :
$CH_3CH_2OH \xrightarrow[H^+]{KMnO_4} A \xrightarrow[H_2SO_4 /heat]{B} CH_3COOCH_2CH_3$
A and B are

• A. $CH_3CHO$ and $CH_3COOH$
• B. $CH_3COOH$ and $CH_3OH$
• C.
• D. $CH_3COOH$ and $CH_3CH_2OH$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\underset{\text{(A)}}{CH_3COOH} + \underset{\text{(B)}}{CH_3CH_2OH} \xrightarrow[heat]{H_2SO_4} CH_3COOCH_2CH_3 + H_2O$
