An alcohol A, when heated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` gives an alkene B. When B is bubbled through bromine water and the product obtained is dehydrohalogenated with exccess of sodamide, a new compound C is obtained. The compound C gives D when treated with warm dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)` in the presence of `HgSO_(4)`. D can also be obtained either byh oxidising A with `KMnO_(4)` or form acetic acid through its calcium salt. Identify A, B, C, and D.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


(D) is obtained by distillation of calcium acetante as well as by oxidation of (A) by `KMnO_(4)`. It suggest (D) is acetone and (A) is propan-2-ol.
