An organic compound X on treatement with...

An organic compound `X` on treatement with acidified `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` gives a compound `Y` which reats with `I_(2)` and sodium carbonate to form tri-iodomethane. The compound `X` is

A

`CH_(3)OH`

B

`CH_(3)overset("O ")overset("|| ")"CC"H_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CHO`

D

`CH_(3)CH(OH)CH_(3)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)-underset((X))underset(OH)underset("| ")"CH"-CH_(3)overset(K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7))underset(H^(+))rarrCH_(3)-underset((Y))underset(O)underset(||)C-CH_(3)`
Y gives iodoform test positive with `I_(2)//Na_(2)CO_(3)`.
