The product ' \(A\) ' gives white precipitate when treated with bromine water. The product ' \(B\) ' is treated with barium hydroxide to give the product \(C\). The compound \(C\) is heated strongly to form product \(D\). The product \(D\) is

  1. A 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one
  2. B but-2 enal
  3. C 3-methylpent-3-en-2-one
  4. D 2-methylbut-2-enal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given reaction take place in following way



Phenol gives white ppt. with bromine water.
Acetone when treated with \(\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\) undergoes aldol condensation as follows




\(\therefore\) The product \(D\) is 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one.
