Among the three compounds shown below, two yield the same product on reaction with warm $\mathrm{HNO}_{3} .$ The exception is:

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

On reaction with $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$ oxidation of aldehyde and alcohol takes place which gives carboxylic acid.
But methyl do not oxidise with $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$. Thus (a) $\&(\mathrm{c})$ will give same product i.e.
(Refer to Image 1 )
But (b) on oxidation give
(Refer to Image 2 ) which is different product than that given by $(\mathrm{a}) \&(\mathrm{c})$.
