The reactions which produce alcohol as the product : A. CH4 + O2 Mo2O3 / Δ → B. 2CH3CH3 + 3O2 (CH3COO)2Mn / Δ → C. (CH3)3CH KMnO4 → D. 2CH4 + O2 Cu / 523 K / 100 atm. → E. CH3 – CH = CH – CH3 KMnO4 / H+ → Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. (1) A and D Only
2. (2) A, C and E Only
3. (3) C and D Only
4. (4) B, D and E Only

Correct answer: (3) C and D Only

Solution

Options C and D are correct because they involve reactions that lead to the formation of alcohols. In C, the oxidation of tert-butyl alcohol occurs, while in D, the reaction of methane under specific conditions produces alcohols as well.
