213.
Cannizaro’s reaction is not given by :
A
B
C
D
Answer :
Only those aldehydes which do not have $$\alpha - H\,atom$$ undergo Cannizaro’s reaction. Hence $$C{H_3}CHO$$ will not undergo Cannizaro’s reaction as it has $$3\,\alpha H\,atoms.$$
214.
Aldehydes and ketones will not form crystalline derivatives with
A
sodium bisulphite
B
phenyl hydrazine
C
semicarbazide hydrochloride
D
dihydrogen sodiurn phosphate
Answer :
dihydrogen sodiurn phosphate
Dihydrogen sodium phosphate $$\left( {Na{H_2}P{O_4}} \right)$$ does not react with aldehydes and ketones because $${Na{H_2}P{O_4}}$$ does not have any lone pair of electron on phosphorus atom, so it cannot act as a nucleophile.
215.
Which of the following statements is correct?
A
$$CC{l_3} - CHO$$ gives aldol condensation.
B
When mixture of ethanal and propanal is treated with aqueous $$NaOH,$$ the product contains four aldols.
C
Mixture of $$HCHO$$ and $$C{H_3}CHO$$ will not give aldol condensation.
D
$$HCHO$$ is least reactive towards oxidation.
Answer :
When mixture of ethanal and propanal is treated with aqueous $$NaOH,$$ the product contains four aldols.

216.
The Cannizzaro reaction is not given by
A
trimethylacetaldehye
B
acetaldehyde
C
benzaldehyde
D
formaldehyde
Answer :
acetaldehyde
TIPS/Formulae :
The compound containing $$\alpha - H$$ atom does not undergo
Cannizzaro's reaction.
Acetaldehyde does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction since it has $$\alpha - H$$ atoms while formaldehyde, trimethylacetaldehyde and benzaldehyde undergo Cannizzaro reaction since they do not contain $$\alpha - $$ hydrogen atoms.
217.
An organic compound $$'A'$$ has the molecular formula \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}O.\] It undergoes iodoform test. When staturated with $$HCl$$ it gives $$'B'$$ of molecular formula \[{{C}_{9}}{{H}_{14}}O.\] $$'A'$$ and $$'B'$$ respectively are
A
Propanal and mesitylene
B
Propanone and mesityl oxide
C
Propanone and 2, 6 - dimethyl - 2, 5 - heptadien - 4 - one
D
Propanone and mesitylene oxide
Answer :
Propanone and mesitylene oxide

A substance $${C_4}{H_{10}}O$$ yields on oxidation a compound $${C_4}{H_8}O$$ which gives an oxime and a positive iodoform test. The original substance on treatment with conc. $${H_2}S{O_4}$$ gives $${C_4}{H_8}.$$ The structure of the compound is
\[\underset{2\text{-Butanol}\,\left( {{C}_{4}}{{H}_{10}}O \right)}{\mathop{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,OH \\
\,\,\,|
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH-}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}}\] \[\underset{2\text{-Butanone}}{\mathop{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
O\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \\
\parallel \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,\]
2-Butanone forms oxime on reaction with hydroxyl amine $$\left( {N{H_2}OH} \right)$$ and also gives positive iodoform test.
\[\underset{\left( {{C}_{4}}{{H}_{10}}O \right)}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
OH\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \\
|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\left( \text{conc}\text{.} \right)}\] \[\underset{2\text{-Butene}\,\left( {{C}_{4}}{{H}_{8}} \right)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH=CHC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
219.
Which of the following does not answer iodoform test?
A
$$n$$ - Butyl alcohol
B
$$sec$$ - Butyl alcohol
C

Answer :
$$n$$ - Butyl alcohol

The correct order of reactivity of \[PhMgBr\] with
A
(I) > (II) > (III)
B
(III) > (II) > (I)
C
(II) > (III) > (I)
D
(I) > (III) > (II)
Answer :
(II) > (III) > (I)
TIPS/Formulaze :
Reaction of \[PhMgBr\] with carbonyl compounds is an example of nucleophilic addition on carbonyl group which increases with the increase in electron - deficiency of carbonyl carbon.
Thus acetaldehyde is most reactive while \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CO{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\] least
