Vedclass · Answer

(D) Reduction of $Propanoic \ acid$ $(CH_3CH_2COOH)$ gives $Propan-1-ol$ (primary alcohol). Reduction of $Propanal$ $(CH_3CH_2CHO)$ gives $Propan-1-ol$ (primary alcohol). Reduction of $Methyl \ propanoate$ $(CH_3CH_2COOCH_3)$ gives $Propan-1-ol$ and $Methanol$ (both primary alcohols). Reduction of $Propan-2-one$ $(CH_3COCH_3)$ gives $Propan-2-ol$,which is a secondary alcohol. Therefore,$Propan-2-one$ does not give a primary alcohol on reduction.

Which one of the following compounds does not give a primary alcohol on reduction?
