Question:medium
An organic compound [X] (Molecular formula \( C_6H_{12}O_2 \)) reacts with dil. \( H_2SO_4 \) to form an alcohol [B] and a carboxylic acid [C]. Reaction of compound [B] with Jones reagent yielded compound [C]. When compound [C] was heated with \( P_2O_5 \) an Anhydride was formed. Compound [X] is --------

Show Hint
Ester hydrolysis gives alcohol + acidIf alcohol oxidizes to acid, it must be a primary alcohol.

- \( C_2H_5 - COO - (CH_2)_2 - CH_3 \)
- \( CH_3 - COO - (CH_2)_3 - CH_3 \)
- \( CH_3 - COO - CH_2 - CH - (CH_3)_2 \)
- \( CH_3 - COO - C - (CH_3)_3 \)
