Vedclass · Answer

(D) $CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3$ is a secondary alcohol. When heated with $Cu$ at $300^\circ C$,it undergoes dehydrogenation to form acetone $(CH_3-CO-CH_3)$. $CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3 \xrightarrow{Cu/300^\circ C} CH_3-CO-CH_3 + H_2$. Acetone $(X)$ has $\alpha$-hydrogens,so it can undergo aldol condensation. Its degree of unsaturation is $1$,and it does not reduce Tollens' reagent as it is a ketone.

$CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3 \xrightarrow{Cu/300^\circ C} \text{Product (X)}$. Which of the following is correct about product $X$?
