Compound 'A' was prepared by oxidation of compound 'B' with alkaline MnO4. Compound 'A' on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gets converted back to compound 'B'. When compound 'A' is heated with compound 'B' in the presence of H2SO4 it produces fruity smell of compound 'C' to which family the compounds 'A', 'B' and 'C' belong to?
Answers & Comments
Explanation:
Thus, compound 'A' belongs to the carboxylic acid as alkaline KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent. Compound 'A' on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gets converted back to compound 'B'. Thus, compound 'B' belongs to an alcohol as lithium aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent.
