Identify the condensation product of the following reaction.
\[
R-\mathrm{CHO}+\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH} \longrightarrow
\]

  1. A \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{NH}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{NH}(\mathrm{OH})\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{N}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{OH}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{OH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When acetaldehyde react with \(\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}_{\text {, }}\) it will form acetaldoxime. As this reaction is a condensation reaction, a molecule of water is eliminated. Hydroxylamine is helpful in the formation of oxide.
