Ans
Aldehydes and ketones having at least one α-hydrogen undergo aldol The compounds
(ii) 2-methylpentanal
(v) cyclohexanone
(vi) 1-phenylpropanone
(vii) phenylacetaldehyde
contain one or more α-hydrogen atoms. Therefore, these undergo aldol condensation.
Aldehydes having no α-hydrogen atoms undergo Cannizzaro The compounds
(i) Methanal
(iii) Benzaldehyde
(ix) 2, 2-dimethylbutanal
do not have any α-hydrogen. Therefore, these undergo cannizzaro reactions.
Compound (iv) Benzophenone is a ketone having no α-hydrogen atom and compound (viii) Butan-1-ol is an alcohol. Hence, these compounds do not undergo either aldol condensation or canni

(i) Cyanohydrin:
Cyanohydrins are those organic compounds having the formula RR“2C (OH)CN, wherever R and R“2 can be alkyl or aryl groups.
Aldehydes and ketones react with compound (KCN) within the presence of excess cyanide (NaCN) as a catalyst to field organic compounds.
(ii) Acetal:
Acetals are gem - dialkoxy alkanes within which 2 alkoxy teams groups attached to the terminal atom. One bond is connected to an associate degree alkyl, whereas the opposite is connected to the hydrogen atom.
When aldehydes are treated with 2 equivalents of a monohydric alcohol within the presence of dry HCl gas, hemiacetals are produced which are furth

(i) The +I effect of –CH3 group increases the electron density on the O-H bond. Therefore, the release of proton becomes difficult. On the other hand, the -I effect of F decreases the electron density on the O-H bond. Therefore, the proton can be released easily. Hence, CH2FCO2H is a stronger acid than CH3CO2H.
(ii) F has stronger -I effect than Cl (as fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine). Therefore, CH2FCO2H can release proton more easily than CH2ClCO2H. Hence, CH2FCO2H is a stronger acid than CH2ClCO2H.
(iii) Inductive effect decreases with increase in distance (the more will be the distance of the inductive group from

(i) Ethylbenzene
In the presence of nascent oxygen i.e. [O] along with KMnO4/ KOH (it is a very strong oxidizing agent which oxidizes the whole alkyl group to carboxylic salt) followed by hydrolysis leads to the formation of benzoic acid. Carbon dioxide and water are formed as byproducts.
(ii) Acetophenone
The oxidation with alcoholic KMNO4 followed by hydrolysis leads to the formation of benzoic acid. The reaction is given below:
(iii) Bromobenzene
Bromobenzene is first reacted with magnesium in presence of dry ether to give an intermediate which on reaction with solid carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis leads to the formation of benz

(i) Ph CH2 COOH The compound contains carboxylic acid as the functional group and Ph means a phenyl group. The longest chain contains 3 carbon atom with phenyl group of carbon 3 so the IUPAC name of the compound is 3-phenylpropanoic
(ii) (CH3 ) 2 C=CHCOOH
The longest chain contains 4 carbon atom with a methyl group as a substituent and a carboxylic acid as a functional group. The no. Of the chain starts from the carbon atom of the –COOH group with double bond on carbon 2 so the IUPAC name of the compound is 3-Methylbut-2-enoic acid.
(iii) The longest chain has 5 carbon atom (all are saturated) which are cyclic with the carboxylic gr
