Q. When primary alcohol is oxidised with chlorine, it gives

$H C H O$

$C H_{3} C H O$

$CC l_{3} C H O$

$C_{3} H_{7} C H O$

Primary alcohol (Ethyl alcohol) on oxidation with $C l_{2}$ first gives aldehyde (acetaldehyde), which on further chlorination gives trichloroacetaldehyde $(CC l_{3} - C H O)$ .

Q. When primary alcohol is oxidised with chlorine, it gives

HCHO

CH3​CHO

CCl3​CHO

C3​H7​CHO

Primary alcohol (Ethyl alcohol) on oxidation with Cl2​ first gives aldehyde (acetaldehyde), which on further chlorination gives trichloroacetaldehyde (CCl3​−CHO).

$H C H O$

$C H_{3} C H O$

$CC l_{3} C H O$

$C_{3} H_{7} C H O$

Primary alcohol (Ethyl alcohol) on oxidation with $C l_{2}$ first gives aldehyde (acetaldehyde), which on further chlorination gives trichloroacetaldehyde $(CC l_{3} - C H O)$ .
