The correct Answer is:
To determine which compounds can give aldehydes upon oxidation with Jones reagent, we need to consider the nature of the compounds provided in the options. Jones reagent, which is a solution of chromium trioxide (CrO3) in dilute sulfuric acid, is commonly used to oxidize alcohols. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Alcohols**: - First, we need to identify whether the compounds in the options are primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) alcohols. - Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, while secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols do not undergo oxidation to aldehydes or ketones. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - For each option, determine its structure and classify it as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol. - Example: - If an option is a primary alcohol (like ethanol), it can be oxidized to an aldehyde (like acetaldehyde). - If an option is a secondary alcohol (like isopropanol), it will be oxidized to a ketone (like acetone) instead of an aldehyde. - If an option is a tertiary alcohol (like tert-butanol), it will not be oxidized to any carbonyl compound. 3. **Apply the Oxidation Reaction**: - For each primary alcohol identified, write the oxidation reaction with Jones reagent to show the formation of the corresponding aldehyde. - Example: - Ethanol (C2H5OH) + Jones reagent → Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) + H2O 4. **Conclusion**: - List all the compounds that can be oxidized to aldehydes with Jones reagent based on the analysis. - Only primary alcohols will yield aldehydes upon oxidation. ### Final Answer: The compounds that can give aldehydes upon oxidation with Jones reagent are the primary alcohols from the options provided.
