Compound B, C6H12O2, was found to be optically active, and it was oxidized to an optically active carboxylic acid A, by Ag (aka, Tollens Reagent). Oxidation of B by PCC gave an optically inactive compound X that reacted with Zn amalgam/HCl to give 3-methylpentane. With Na2Cr2O7/H2SO4, compound B was oxidized to an optically inactive dicarboxylic acid C, C6H10O4. Provide the structures of A, B, and C (ignore specific configuration of any stereocenters).

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Acidipic Acid (which is an essential dicarboxylic acid for manufacturing purposes with about 2. 5 billion kilograms produced per year. It is mainly used for the production of nylon and its related materials.)

Going by the question, since the is comparatively mild oxidizing agent than the , it only oxidizes the carbon group

Kindly check the attached image below for the full explanation to the question above.

you did not give any options thus this is the best answer i can give to you with this little information you have given

> they are both natural and not man made

> they can be tracked and predicted by the right tools
