| |
O
can be obtained in one step by
(a) oxidation of primary alcohols
(b) hydrolysis of esters
(c) oxidation of tertiary alcohols
(d) reaction of acid halides with alcohols

Answer 1

Answer:

c is correct answer......I hope.........

Answer 2

(d) reaction of acid halides with alcohols

Explanation:

Ketones can be obtained in one step by the reaction of acid halides and alcohols. Where a secondary alcohol is oxidised, it is converted to a ketone. The hydrogen from the hydroxyl group is lost along with the hydrogen bonded to the second carbon. The remaining oxygen then forms double bonds with the carbon. This leaves a ketone, as R1–COR2.

Option D is the correct answer.
