A-level Organic Chemistry Alcohol Question Help!!!
Which compound is produced when 1-phenylethanol reacts with acidified potassium dichromate(VI)?
A C6H5CH2CH2OH
B C6H5CH2CHO
C C6H5COCH3
D C6H5CH(OH)CH3
Why is the answer C. Because I thought it could be B as well because the question doesn't state where the -OH group is.
A C6H5CH2CH2OH
B C6H5CH2CHO
C C6H5COCH3
D C6H5CH(OH)CH3
Why is the answer C. Because I thought it could be B as well because the question doesn't state where the -OH group is.

It does state where the -OH group is: on carbon 1 – the same carbon to which the phenyl group is attached.
