2-Methylpropan-1-ol is oxidised under Swern conditions (DMSO, $(COCl) X_{2}$ , then $Et X_{3} N$ , $- 78^{\circ} C$ ). The product is

A2-methylpropanal
B2-methylpropanoic acid
C2-methylpropan-2-ol
Dbutan-2-one

Answer: A

The Swern oxidation is a mild, non-aqueous oxidation which converts primary alcohols into aldehydes without over-oxidation. 2-Methylpropan-1-ol gives 2-methylpropanal,
