Chemistry Question on Classification Of Organic Compounds
The final product A formed in the following multistep reaction sequence is
A
B
C
D
Answer
Explanation
Solution
The reaction sequence involves the following steps:
- The initial compound undergoes hydration with H2O, H+, forming a primary alcohol.
- Oxidation with CrO3 converts the alcohol to a ketone.
- Finally, treatment with NH2NH2, KOH and heating (Wolff-Kishner reduction) reduces the ketone to an alkane.
Thus, the final product A is a simple alkyl chain attached to the benzene ring: Answer: (1).
So, the correct answer is : Option (1).
