Question:medium
Identify X and Y formed in the following two reactions.
\[
(i) \, \text{Decan-1-ol} \xrightarrow{\text{Jones reagent}} X
\]
\[
(ii) \, \text{Sodium salt of X} \xrightarrow{\text{NaOH/CaO,} \Delta} Y
\]
Identify X and Y formed in the following two reactions.
\[ (i) \, \text{Decan-1-ol} \xrightarrow{\text{Jones reagent}} X \]
\[ (ii) \, \text{Sodium salt of X} \xrightarrow{\text{NaOH/CaO,} \Delta} Y \]
\[ (i) \, \text{Decan-1-ol} \xrightarrow{\text{Jones reagent}} X \]
\[ (ii) \, \text{Sodium salt of X} \xrightarrow{\text{NaOH/CaO,} \Delta} Y \]
Show Hint
Jones reagent oxidizes primary alcohols to carboxylic acids, and soda lime decarboxylates carboxylic acids to form hydrocarbons.

- X = Decanoic acid, Y = Nonane
- X = Octanoic acid, Y = Heptane
- X = 1-Methoxy nonane, Y = Octane
- X = Decan-2-one, Y = Octane
