Question:
X and Y in reaction sequence:
X and Y in reaction sequence:
Show Hint
Strong oxidizing agents like KMnO$_4$/H$^+$ completely oxidize primary alcohols to CO$_2$ and H$_2$O.
Updated On: Oct 27, 2025
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Primary alcohol oxidized by KMnO$_4$ forms carboxylic acid (X). Further oxidation under acidic KMnO$_4$ gives CO$_2$ and H$_2$O (Y). This is complete oxidation of the carbon chain.
