Alkanones are generally obtained by the oxidation of
- primary alkanols
-
secondary alkanols
- tertiary alkanols
- alkanoic acid
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Using a suitable oxidizing agent such as acidified dichromate solution, or, acidified permanganate solution, secondary alkanols (alcohols) can be oxidized to alkanones (ketones), therefore, The oxidation of a secondary alkanol (alcohol) produces an alkanone (ketone). e.g. Oxidation of butan-2-ol (2-butanol) by acidified dichromate solution produces butan-2-one (2-butanone or butanone)
