« on: May 27, 2012, 09:54:54 AM »
Hi,I m in blind passage.In my exercise book is one question,which asks:

Compound CH3-CH2-O-CHOH-CH2CH3 can be made from: a)ethanal
                                                                              b)propanal
                                                                              c)acetaldehyde
                                                                              d)methanol
                                                                              e)ethanol
                                                                              f)propanol
                                                                              g)methanal
                                                                              h)propionic acid
Corrects answers are b) and e).And I m asking,why just these ones?Why cannot be made from for example propanol?
Thanks

What kind of product is it in this case? Classification? Then only b and e can be used.
