2.

Compound A, C_5H_(10)O, forms a phenyl hyrazone, given negative Tollen's and iodoform tests and is reduced to n - pentane. What is the compound , A ?

Answer»

Solution :Compound A FORMS hydrazone, so it is a CARBONYL compound. It is a ketone as it does not REDUCE Tollens reagent. The ketone does not have methyl group as it does not respond to iodoform test. Thus, the compound is pentanone-3. The STRUCTURE of the compound is `CH_(3)CH_(2)COCH_(2)CH_(3)`.

Compound (A) C_(5)H_(10)O forms a phenyl hydrazone and gives negative Tollen's and iodoform tests. Compound (A) on reduction gives n-pentane. Compound (A) is :

Answer»

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C ) - H`
`CH_(3) CH_(2) CH_(2) - overset(O)overset(||)(C ) - CH_(3)`
`CH_(3) CH_(2) - overset(O)overset(||)(C ) - CH_(2)CH_(3)`
`CH_(3) CH_(2) CH_(2) CH_(2) CH_(2) - OH`

SOLUTION :Choice (1)can GIVE tollen.s test as it is an aldehyde and choice (2) can respond to iodoform test as it is a methly ketone. Choice (3) is an alcohol so it cannot form phenyl HYDRAZONE. The only possible OPTION here is choice (3) which can give phenyl hydrazone and also not respond to either tollen.s or Iodoform test
