Excess in ether followed by aqueous acid work-up gives propan-1-ol as one of the organic products from which of the following?

  1. Amethyl propanoate
  2. Bpropanamide
  3. Cpropanoic acid
  4. Dpropanenitrile

Answer: A, C

Methyl propanoate gives propan-1-ol plus methanol, and propanoic acid gives propan-1-ol. Propanamide gives propan-1-amine and propanenitrile also gives propan-1-amine, not an alcohol.
