The correct product of the following sequence of reactions
\[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CHCOOH\xrightarrow[\left( \text{ii} \right)\,{{H}_{2}}O]{\left( \text{i} \right)\,LiAl{{H}_{4}}}\] \[\xrightarrow{PB{{r}_{3}}}\,\,\xrightarrow[DMSO]{KCN}\,\,\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{{{H}_{2}}{{O}^{+}},\,{{H}^{+}}}\]
A
\[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CHCH\,Br.COOH\]
B
\[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CHC{{H}_{2}}COOH\]
C
\[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CHC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

The major product obtained in the following reaction is :
A
B
C
D
Answer :
DIBAL-H is a bulkier reducing agent. It reduces both ester and carboxylic group into an aldehyde ( partial reduction ) at low temperature.
84.
Among the following acids which has the lowest $$p{K_a}$$ value ?
A
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}COOH$$
B
$${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}CH - COOH$$
C
$$HCOOH$$
D
$$C{H_3}COOH$$
Answer :
$$HCOOH$$
$$p{K_a} = - \log \,{K_a};\,HCOOH$$ is the strongest acid and hence it has the highest $${K_a}$$ or lowest $$p{K_a}$$ value.

Oxidation of acetaldehyde with selenium dioxide produces
A
ethanoic acid
B
methanoic acid
C
glyoxal
D
oxalic acid
Answer :
glyoxal
Selenium dioxide oxidises aldehydes and ketones at \[\alpha \] - position to carbonyl group. \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\xrightarrow{Se{{O}_{2}}}OHC.CHO\]

The order of decreasing ease of reaction with ammonia is
A
anhydrides, esters, ethers
B
anhydrides, ethers, esters
C
ethers, anhydrides, esters
D
esters, ethers, anhydrides
Answer :
anhydrides, esters, ethers
Weaker the base, better the leaving group and hence more is the reactivity of the compound. The relative basic character of the four groups is \[NH_{2}^{-}>O{{R}^{-}}>OCOCH_{3}^{-}>C{{l}^{-}}\]
Thus the relative leaving ability of the four groups is $$NH_2^ - < O{R^ - } < OCOCH_3^ - < C{l^ - }$$
Hence the relative reactivity of the four acyl derivatives toward nucleophile is

In a set of reactions, ethyl benzene yielded a product $$D.$$ \[\xrightarrow[KOH]{KMn{{O}_{4}}}B\xrightarrow[FeC{{l}_{3}}]{B{{r}_{2}}}\] \[C\xrightarrow[{{H}^{+}}]{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}D\]
$$D$$ would be
A
B
C
D
Answer :
Alkaline $$KMn{O_4}$$ converts complete carbon chain ( that is directly attached to benzene nucleus ) to $$-COOH$$ group. $$B{r_2}$$ in the presence of halogen carrier causes bromination by electrophilic substitution reaction and ethyl alcohol in acidic medium results in esterification.
