Updated On: Mar 27, 2025
(CH3)2CH - CH2OH
CH3CH2CH2OH
(CH3)3C - OH
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The compound in option (D) is a secondary alcohol, and upon oxidation with chromic anhydride, it forms a ketone. Chromic anhydride oxidizes alcohols to carbonyl compounds, with secondary alcohols yielding ketones.
