MHT CET · Chemistry · Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Identify the product obtained in the following reaction.
\(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CO}\right)_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{\longrightarrow}\) Product
- A \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3\)
- C \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{OH}\)
- D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Anhydrides on hýdrolysis with water give carboxylic acids.
\(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CO}\right)_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)
\(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CO}\right)_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)
