45.
The major product of the following reaction is :
A
B
C

Answer :
Alkaline $$KMn{O_4}$$ converts with a benzylic hydrogen into benzoic acid.
46.
The correct order of increasing acid strenght of the
compounds
A
D < A < B < C
B
A < D < B < C
C
B < D < A < C
D
D < A < C < B
Answer :
D < A < B < C
The correct order of increasing acid strength
$$C{F_3}.COOH > MeOC{H_2}COOH > C{H_3}COOH > {\left( {Me} \right)_2}CH.COOH$$
[ NOTE : Electron withdrawing groups increase the acid strength and electron donating groups decrease the acid strength. ]
47.
A colourless liquid, at room temperature, reacts with soda-lime to form sodium salt of a carboxylic acid and ammonia gas. The liquid is
A
propanoic acid
B
formamide
C
propanamide
D
methyl enthanoate
Answer :
formamide
Only amides ( but not acids and esters ) undergo hydrolysis in presence of soda-lime to form sodium salt of a carboxylic acid and ammonia gas. Further, since the given compound is a liquid, it must be formamide, because propanamide is a solid.
48.
In the reaction, \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow{LiA{{H}_{4}}}A\xrightarrow{PC{{l}_{5}}}\] \[B\xrightarrow{Alc.\,KOH}C,\] the product $$C$$ is :
A
Acetaldehyde
B
Acetylene
C
Ethylene
D
Acetyl chloride
Answer :
Ethylene
Hence the product (C) is ethylene.
49.

C
$${C_6}{H_5}C{H_2}COO{C_2}{H_5}$$
D
$${C_6}{H_{11}}C{H_2}COO{C_2}{H_5}$$
Answer :
$${C_6}{H_5}COO{C_2}{H_5}$$
The ester which contains $$\alpha $$ - hydrogen atom undergoes Claisen-self condensation :
