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]
Compound [E] in presence of dil NaOH gives :

  1. A But-2-enal
  2. B Methanol
  3. C 2-Methyl but-2-enal
  4. D Pent-2-enal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) But-2-enal

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\([E]\) is acetaldehyde (\(CH_3CHO\)) because its oxidation product \([F]\) is acetic acid (\(C_2H_4O_2\)). Acetaldehyde in the presence of dil NaOH undergoes aldol condensation followed by dehydration:…
