JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
In the following reaction
Carbonyl compound \( + MeOH\overset {HCl} \longleftrightarrow {\text{acetal}}\) Rate of the reaction is the highest for
- A Acetone as substrate and methanol in stoichiometric amount
- B Proponal as substrate and methanol in stoichiometric amount
- C Acetone as substrate and methanol in excess
- D Propanal as substrate and methanol in excess
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Propanal as substrate and methanol in excess
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ketones \(<\) Aldehyde \(\longrightarrow\) Rate of Nucleophilic addition reaction Only aldehydes are responsible for formation of acetals. Excess of \(MeOH\) is used to drive the reaction towards forward direction
