MCQ
Which one of the following reactions will not yield propionic acid?
  • A
    $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COCH}_{3}+\mathrm{OI}^{-} / \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}+\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}(\mathrm{Heat}), \mathrm{OH} / \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CCl}_{3}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} / \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$
  • $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Br}+\mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ dry ether $/ \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Br}+\mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ dry ether $/ \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$
d
All gives propanoic acid as product but option $4$ gives butanoic as product
