Which of the following processes is used for the preparation of acetone?
Show Hint
- Haber process
- Wacker process
- Wolff-Kishner reduction
- Gattermann-Koch synthesis
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Wacker process.
The Wacker process is used for the industrial preparation of acetone by the oxidation of alkenes.
Thus, the correct answer is (2).
