JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Vanillin

will react with NaOH and also with Tollen's reagent.
Statement (II) : Vanillin

will undergo self aldol condensation very easily.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- A Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- B Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- C Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- D Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Phenolic group soluble in NaOH Benzaldehyde derivative react with Tollen's reagent. Vanillin does not give self-aldol reaction due to lack of acidic H for condensation.
