Kiko, a Chem 31.1 student, accidentally shuffled two test tubes with different compounds on his way to the laboratory. To confirm the possible identities of the compounds, Kiko added neutral KMnO4 and Lucas reagents to both test tubes labeled A and B. Test tube A gave a brown precipitate in neutral KMnO4 while test tube B produced a purple solution in the same test. Upon subjecting to Lucas Test, both test tubes produced layers. Which of the following are the possible identities of the compounds A and B? a. Sec-butanol and 3-methyl-3-pentanol b. n-propanol and tert-butanol c. isopropyl alcohol and 4-nitrophenol d. hexanol and cyclopentanol
