Correct Answer

(A) (A) (A), (B) and (C) only

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (A) (A), (B) and (C) only \textbf{Solution:} Strong oxidants take a 1 alcohol all the way to a carboxylic acid. (A) (Jones), (B) acidified , and (C) (alkaline then acid work-up) are all strong oxidising systems that give carboxylic acids. (D) at 573 K only dehydrogenates the alcohol to an aldehyde/ketone, and (E) with acetic anhydride is a mild reagent that stops at the aldehyde. Hence only (A), (B) and (C).
