Compound ‘B’ gives positive Fehling’s test and also forms iodoform on treatment with I2 and NaOH.
Compound ‘C’ does not give Fehling’s test but forms iodoform. Identify the compounds A, B and C.
Write the reaction for ozonolysis and formation of iodoform from B and C.
(A), (B) and (C) are three non-cyclic functional isomers of a carbonyl compound with molecular
formula C4H8O. Isomers (A) and (C) give positive Tollens’ test whereas isomer (B) does not give
Tollens’ test but gives positive Iodoform test. Isomers (A) and (B) on reduction with Zn(Hg)/conc. HCl
give the same product (D). (i) Write the structures of (A), (B), (C) and (D). (ii) Out of (A), (B) and (C)
isomers, which one is least reactive towards addition of HCN ?
An aromatic organic compound ‘A’ with molecular formula C8H8O gives positive DNP and iodoform
tests. It neither reduces Tollens’ reagent nor does it decolourise bromine water. Write the structure
of ‘A’
An organic compound (A) having molecular formula C4H8O gives orange red precipitate with 2, 4-
DNP reagent. It does not reduce Tollens’ reagent but gives yellow precipitate of iodoform on heating
with NaOH and I2. Compound (A) on reduction with NaBH4 gives compound (B) which undergoes
dehydration reaction on heating with conc. H2SO4 to form compound (C). Compound (C) on
ozonolysis gives two molecules of ethanal. Identify (A), (B) and (C) and write their structures. Write
the reactions of compound (A) with (i) NaOH/I2 and (ii) NaBH4.
A and B are two functional isomers of compound C3H6O. On heating with NaOH and I2, isomer B
forms yellow precipitate of iodoform whereas isomer A does not form any precipitate. Write the
formulae of A and B
An aromatic compound ‘A’ on heating with Br2 and KOH forms a compound ‘B’ of molecular formula
C6H7N which on reacting with CHCl3 and alcoholic KOH produces a foul smelling compound ‘C’.
Write the structure and IUPAC names of compound A, B and C.
An organic compound A’ with molecular formula C7H7NO reacts with Br2/aq. KOH to give
compound B’, which upon reaction with NaNO2 & HCl at 0°C gives C’. Compound C’ on heating with
CH3CH2OH gives a hydrocarbon D’. Compound B’ on further reaction with Br2 water gives white
precipitate of compound E’. Identify the compound A, B, C, D & E; also justify your answer by giving
relevant chemical equations
An aromatic compound ‘A’ on treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms compound ‘B’
which on heating with Br2 and KOH forms a compound ‘C’ of molecular formula C6H7N. Write the
structures and IUPAC names of compounds A, B and C.
An organic aromatic compound ‘A‘ with the molecular formula C6H7N is sparingly soluble in water.
‘A’ on treatment with dil HCl gives a water soluble compound ‘B’. ‘A’ also reacts with chloroform in
presence of alcoholic KOH to form an obnoxious smelling compound ‘C’. ‘A’ reacts with benzene
sulhponyl chloride to form and alkali soluble compound ‘D’. ‘A’ reacts with NaNO2 and HCl to form a
compound ‘E’ which on reaction with phenol forms an orange dye ‘F’. Elucidate the structures of the
organic compounds from ‘A’ to ‘F’
