Various products formed on oxidation of 2,5-dimetylhexan-3-one are

i) CH3−C∣CH3H−COOH{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} - \mathop {\text{C}}\limits_{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} | \\ {{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}} \end{array}} {\text{H}} - {\text{COOH}}

ii) CH3−C∣CH3H−CH2−COOH{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} - \mathop {\text{C}}\limits_{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} | \\ {{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}} \end{array}} {\text{H}} - {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_2} - {\text{COOH}}

iii) CH3COOH\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}

iv) HCOOH\mathrm{HCOOH}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Option C (i, ii, iii, and iv) is correct because the oxidation of 2,5-dimethylhexan-3-one leads to the formation of various carboxylic acids due to cleavage at different bonds near the carbonyl group.
