need help with chem AS

<< < (3/5) > >>

sweetie:
ya i guess u messed up a bit , the ms says "B"

nid404:
yaa....stupid me....I jst realized...

sorry
B is actually 2 methyl, propan-2-ol
This won't be affected by KMNO4 because it a tertiary alcohol....
alcohols=water in organic chem....so it will give hydrogen with sodium too

sweetie:
why is it not "c"
It is also an alcohol and no double bond, so no reaction with KMnO4?

--- End quote ---

C is a secondary alcohol...it will form a ketone when oxidised

unfortunately i'd mistaken B for a primary alcohol...not noticing it was (CH3)3

sweetie:
got it  ;D

thanx  :-*
