TS EAMCET · Chemistry · Aldehydes and Ketones

Consider the following reaction sequence

The correct statements about \(\mathrm{Z}\) are I. It gives yellow precipitate with \(\mathrm{I}_2\) and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) solution II. It undergoes disproportionation reaction in the presence of concentrated \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) solution III. It undergoes wolff-Kishner reduction IV. It forms red precipitate with Fehling's reagent

  1. A I & II only
  2. B II & III only
  3. C I & IV only
  4. D I & III only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) I & III only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since ' \(\mathrm{Z}\) ' is a methyl ketone, it gives positive iodoform test and gives a yellow precipitate with \(\mathrm{I}_2\) and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\). Aldehydes and ketones undergo walff-kishner reduction to give the corresponding hydrocarbon. Thus, I and III are correct.,
