Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
A ketone \([ A ]\) which undergoes haloform reaction gives compound \([ B ]\) on reduction. Compound
\([B]\) on heating with sulphuric acid gives compound \([C]\) which forms monozonide \([D]\). The compound \([D]\) on hydrolysis in the presence of zinc dust gives compound \([E]\). Compound \([E]\)
on oxidation gives \(C _2 H _4 O _2\) [F]
Identify Compound [A]
- A Butan-2-one
- B 3-methyl Pentan-2-one
- C Propanone
- D Acetophenone
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Butan-2-one
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\([F] = CH_3COOH\) \([E] \xrightarrow{Oxidation} [F] \implies [E] = CH_3CHO\) \([C] \xrightarrow{O_3, H_2O/Zn} [E]\). For sole product \(CH_3CHO\), \([C] = CH_3CH=CHCH_3\) (But-2-ene). \([B] \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4, \Delta} [C]\) (But-2-ene) \(\implies [B] = CH_3CH(OH)CH_2CH_3\)…

Replacement of a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon by an alkoxy or carboxyl group yields a class of compounds known as ethers. Ethers are classified as symmetrical or unsymmetrical on the basis of groups attached to the oxygen atoms. Diethyl ether, a symmetrical ether, has been widely used as an inhalation anesthetic. Ethers can be prepared by acid catalyzed intermolecular dehydration of alcohols and Williamson's synthesis. Acid catalyzed dehydration of alcohols is not generally preferred as it gives a mixture of elimination and substitution products. In Williamson's synthesis, an alkyl halide is allowed to react with sodium alkoxide. Ethers containing substituted Alkyl groups may also be prepared by this method. The C-O bond in ether is weakly polar and is cleaved under drastic conditions with excess of hydrogen halides. In electrophilic substitution, the alkoxy group deactivates the aromatic ring and directs the incoming group to ortho and para positions.

Restriction endonuclease on finding its specific recognition sequence, bind to the DNA and cut each of the two strands of the double helix at specific points in their sugar -phosphate backbones. Each restriction endonuclease recognises a specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in the DNA. Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules such as RNA, proteins, polysaccharides and also lipids. This can be achieved by treating the bacterial cells/plant or animal tissue with enzymes such as lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase (fungus). Now a days the most commonly used matrix is agarose which is a natural polymer extracted from sea weeds. The DNA fragments separate (resolve) according to their size through sieving effect provided by the agarose gel. The first restriction endonuclease-Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was isolated and characterised five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognising a specific sequence of six base pairs. In addition to 'ori', the vector requires a selectable marker, which helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. Transformation is a procedure through which a piece of DNA is introduced in a host bacterium. Normally, the genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline or kanamycin, etc., are considered useful selectable markers for E. coli.
