A liquid (X) having a molecular formula ...

A liquid `(X)` having a molecular formula `C_(6) H_(12) O_(2)` is hydrolysed with water in the presence of an acid to give a carboxylic acid `(Y)` and an alcohol `(Z)`. Oxidation of `(Z)` with chrome acid gives `(Y)` . What are the structures of `(X), (Y)`, and `(Z)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(X) is an esterr `R__(1)-overset(O)overset(||)C-OR_(2)`.The alcohol is primary as on oxidation it gives an acid. ltbr gt
