Long answer type questions

1. An alkene ‘A’ (Mol. formula C5H10 on ozonolysis gives a mixture of two compounds ‘B’ and ‘C’. Compound ‘B’ gives positive Fehling’s test and forms an iodoform on treatment with I2 and NaOH. Compound ‘C’ does not give Fehling’s test but forms an iodoform. Identify the compounds A, B and C. Write the reaction for ozonolysis and formation of iodoform from B and C.

Ans:

Fehling's test is positive when compound 'B' is used. It gives an iodoform test and proves that it is an aldehyde. Because it fails Fehling's test, compound 'C' is a ketone.

 

2. An aromatic compound ‘A’ (Molecular formula C8H8O]) gives a positive 2, 4-DNP test. It gives a yellow precipitate of compound ‘B’ on treatment with iodine and sodium hydroxide solution. Compound ‘A’ does not give Tollen’s or Fehling’s test. On drastic oxidation with potassium permanganate it forms a carboxylic acid ‘C’ (Molecular formula C7H6O2), which is also formed along with the yellow compound in the above reaction. Identify A, B and C and write all the reactions involved.

Ans: The aromatic compound ‘A’ does not give Tollen’s reagent test, it is not an aromatic aldehyde. As it responds to an iodoform test called methyl ketone.

 

3. Write down functional isomers of a carbonyl compound with molecular formula C3H6O. Which isomer will react faster with HCN and why? Explain the mechanism of the reaction also. Will the reaction lead to the completion with the conversion of whole reactant into product at reaction conditions? If a strong acid is added to the reaction mixture what will be the effect on concentration of the product and why?

 Ans: Functional isomers

Compound I will react faster with HCN due to less steric hindrance and greater positive charge on carbon atom of carbonyl group. Two methyl groups increase electron density on carbonyl carbon in compounds II hence the rate of nucleophilic attack is less.
Mechanism of the reaction:

 

 

4. When liquid ‘A’ is treated with a freshly prepared ammoniacal silver nitrate solution, it gives bright silver mirror. The liquid forms a white crystalline solid on treatment with sodium hydrogensulphite. Liquid ‘B’ also forms a white crystalline solid with sodium hydrogensulphite but it does not give test with ammoniacal silver nitrate. Which of the two liquids is aldehyde? Write the chemical equations of these reactions also. 

Ans: Liquid ‘A’ reduces ammoniacal silver nitrate and ‘B’ is a ketone which forms white crystalline solid on treatment with hydrogen sulphite
