What alcohol can be oxidized to each carboxylic acid?
a. b. c.
(a)
Interpretation: Alcohol that can be oxidized to the given carboxylic acid is to be identified.
Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids are the carbon compounds that contain carboxyl group as a major functional group. They are polar in nature due to electronegativity difference between the atoms in a compound. They sometimes exist as a dimer. Dimers are the compounds that consist of two monomer units connected by bonds or forces. Carboxylic acids can be synthesized from alkynes, alkene, benzene derivatives, alcohol and allylic halides by using different reagents.
