(C)
(D) 
(E) 
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A B, C and D
- B A, C and D
- C A, D and E
- D B, D and E
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) B, C and D
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For (B): \(CH_2=C(CH_3)_2 + H^+ \rightarrow (CH_3)_3C^+\) For (C): \((CH_3)_3CCl + AlCl_3 \rightarrow (CH_3)_3C^+ + [AlCl_4]^-\) For (D): \((CH_3)_3COH + H^+ \rightarrow (CH_3)_3COH_2^+ \rightarrow (CH_3)_3C^+ + H_2O\) Final Answer: B, C and D

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Sterically, the presence of two relatively large substituents in ketones hinders the approach of nucleophile to carbonyl carbon more than aldehydes having only one such substituent Electronically aldehydes are more reactive than ketones because two alkyl groups reduce the elctrophilicity of the carbonyl more effectively than in former.
