Q 12.11 An organic compound (A) (molecular formula was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). (C) on dehydration gives but-1-ene. Write equations for the reactions involved.
So, finally the structure of the ester of molecular formula is -
By following reaction we can understand it in a better way-
