Chapter 17, Problem 17.37AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure corresponding to the statement “an optically active compound that is oxidized by MnO2 to an optically inactive compound” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

MnO2 is a selective oxidizing agent. It oxidizes allylic and benzylic hydrogens. Primary allylic alcohols are oxidized into aldehydes whereas secondary allylic alcohols are oxidized into ketones on treatment with MnO2.
