Question
Chemistry Question on Chemical Reactions of Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
Number of isomeric compounds with molecular formula C9H10O which (i) do not dissolve in NaOH (ii) do not dissolve in HCl (iii) do not give orange precipitate with 2,4-DNP (iv) on hydrogenation give identical compound with molecular formula C9H12O is _________
Answer
The correct answer is 2
As per the language of given question, the best possible isomeric structure is Ph−CH=CH−O−CH3 (cis and trans). So, the answer is 2.
