Question

A compound ${}^{\prime }{A}^{\prime }$ on reaction with ${}^{\prime }{X}^{\prime }$ and ${}^{\prime }{Y}^{\prime }$ produces the same major product but different by product ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ and ${}^{\prime }{b}^{\prime }$. Oxidation of ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ gives a substance produced by ants.



${}^{\prime }{X}^{\prime }$ and ${}^{\prime }{Y}^{\prime }$ respectively are

• A. $KMn{O}_4/H^{+}$ and $dil.KMn{O}_4,273K$
• B. $KMn{O}_4/H^{+}$ and $O_3,H_{2}O/Zn$
• C. $O_3,H_{2}O/Zn$ and $KMn{O}_4/H^{+}$
• D. $KMn{O}_4$(dilute), $273K$ and $KMn{O}_4/H^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $O_3,H_{2}O/Zn$ and $KMn{O}_4/H^{+}$
