Interpretation: Compound X is 2-propanol. When compound X is heated with strond acid, it dehydrates to form compound Y (). When compound X is oxidised, the compound Z () is formed, which cannot be oxidised further. Draw the condensed structural formulas and give the IUPAC names for the compound X, Y and Z.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation is defined as the gain of oxygen atom or the loss of hydrogen atom. There is an increase in the number of carbon-hydrogen bond when an alcohol undergoes oxidation.
Oxidation of the primary alcohol yields
IUPAC stands for “International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry”. IUPAC is the standard for naming the organic compounds.
The aldehydes are named by substituting the “e” of the corresponding
The ketones are named by substituting “e” of the corresponding alkane with “one”. The numbering is done from the end of compounds which is nearest to the carbonyl group.
