Question

1.An organic compound X with a molecular formula C2H6O undergoes oxidation with in
presence of alkaline KMnO4 to form a compound Y. X on heating in presence of Conc. H2SO4at 443K gives Z.which on reaction with H2Oin presence of H2S4 gives back `X.` `Z` reacts withBr2 (aq) and decolorizes it. Identify X, Y, Z.and write the reactions involved.

Answer 1

ch3ch2oh(X) - ch3cho(y)- ch3cooh(z)- ch3ch2oh(X)
