Question

Which of the following do you consider to be suitable for obtaining acetone (CH3COCH3)?
Options
A Heating CH3CH2CH2OH with acidic Na2Cr2O7
B Passing over heated copper
Correct Answer
C Oxidation of CH3CH2CH3 with concentrated HNO3
D Heating CH3CH=CH2 with dilute H2SO4
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Acetone is obtained by passing 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol) over heated copper (dehydrogenation) or by oxidation of 2-propanol. Acetone is CH3COCH3, so passing isopropyl alcohol over heated copper gives acetone.

Hint

What alcohol gives acetone on dehydrogenation?
