Write the structures of A, B, C, D & E in the following reactions:a). Write the structures of the main products when ethanal (CH3CHO) reacts with the following Reagents. (i). HCN (ii). dil. NaOH (iii).Zn – Hg / conc.HCl b). Arrange the following in increasing order of their reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction: Ethanal, Propanal, Propanone, Butanone c). Give a chemical test to distinguish between following pair of compounds Propanal and Propanone |

Answer» A - C6H5CHO, B - C6H5COONa C - C6H5CH2OH, D -C6H5CH = NNHCONH2, E -C6H5CH(OH)CH3 (i) CH3CH(CN)OH (ii) CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3 (iii) CH3CH3 (b) Ethanal > Propanal > Propanone > Butanone (c) Propanal gives red ‐brown ppt with Fehling’s reagent / Propanal givessilver mirror test but propanone does not react both of these reagents. |
