1 answer

An alcohol A (C4H10O)(C4H10O) on oxidation with acidified potassium dichromate gives carboxylic acid B (C4H8O2)(C4H8O2). Compound A when dehydrated with conc. H2SO4H2SO4 at 443K443K gives compound C. Treatment of C with aqueous H2SO4H2SO4 gives compound D (C4H10O)(C4H10O) which is an isomer of A. Compound D is resistant to oxidation but compound A can be easily oxidised. Identify A, B, C and D and write their structures
