qwertypoiu The Sarcastic Retard can you please help me with this question ...
As far as i know, secondary alcohols when oxidised to ketones donot respond to mild oxidising agents, so i thought it might be a secondary alcohol, but is it wrong? can you pls clarify, the ans is D
The question says that it is unreactive towards mild oxidising agents which mean it can not be a primary or a secondary alcohol as both can be oxidised .
It has to be a tertiary alcohol which is only possible in D
