Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the starting compound that gives the given product on oxidation with MnO2, is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation is defined as loss of electrons and addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. The benzylic and allylic alcohols are selectively oxidized by the MnO2. In presence of MnO2, primary allylic or benzylic alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes and secondary allylic or benzylic alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

Interpretation Introduction
