The .....compound gives ethyl methyl ketones:
Correct answer: B. Butan-2øl
- A. Propan-2øl
- B. Butan-2øl
- C. Butan-1øl
- D. 2me thyl Butan-2øl
Explanation
When butan-2-ol undergoes oxidation, it gives us ethyl methyl ketones as the final product. In this case, the ethyl methyl ketone formed would be 2-butanone (ethyl methyl ketone is another name for it). The oxidation of butan-2-ol involves the removal of hydrogen atoms from the alcohol group, resulting in the formation of a carbonyl group in the ketone.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
