Consider the following sequence of reactions
Isopropyl benzene \(\xrightarrow{\mathrm{O}_2} x \xrightarrow[\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}]{\mathrm{H}^{+}}\) \(+z\)
The incorrect statement about z is

  1. A z gives yellow precipitate of \(\mathrm{CHI}_3\) with \(\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{I}_2\) solution
  2. B z gives isopropyl alcohol on reduction with \(\mathrm{H}_2\) in the presence of Pd catalyst
  3. C z on reaction with \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{MgBr}\) followed by hydrolysis gives \(2^{\circ}\) alcohol
  4. D \(z\) does not give positive test with Fehling's reagent
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) z on reaction with \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{MgBr}\) followed by hydrolysis gives \(2^{\circ}\) alcohol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Isopropyl benzene \( \xrightarrow{\mathrm{O}_2} \) Cumene hydroperoxide (x) Cumene hydroperoxide (x) \( \xrightarrow[\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}]{\mathrm{H}^{+}} \) Phenol \( + \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3 \) (z) Therefore, \( \mathrm{z} = \mathrm{Acetone} \).…
