Question

When alcohol on reaction with Cu at 573K gives ketone as major product ?

Answer 1

Answer:

sorry I don't know the answer

Answer 2

Option A is correct.

A. Butan-2-ol

Explanation:

• The alcohols on reaction with copper at 573K undergoes dehydrogenation reaction.
• In dehydrogentaion reactions, hydrogen atoms get removed from the parent molecule.
• Primary alcohols when treated with Cu at 573K forms aldehyde, secondary alcohols form ketone, and tertiary alcohols form alkene.
• In the given options, option A is a secondary alcohol so it will ketone. Butan-2-ol will form Butan-2-one.
