A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH+HCOOH\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH+HCOOH\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH+C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
During oxidation of unsymmetrical ketones, i.e., n-propyi methyl ketone, the keto group stays with the smaller alkyi group (Popoffs rule) i.e.,\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH\]and\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]are formed. \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{[O]}C{{H}_{3}}COOH\] \[+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH\]
