(a) How will you bring about the following conversions :(i) Ethanol to 3-hydroxybutanal (ii) Benzaldehyde to Benzophenone(b) An organic compound A has the molecular formula C8H16O2. It gets hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid and gives a carboxylic acid B and an alcohol C. Oxidation of C with chromic acid also produced B. C on dehydration reaction gives but-l-ene. Write equations for the reactions involved.
