Aldehydes Ketones Question 220

Question: Identify Z in the sequence $ CH_3COONH_4\xrightarrow{\Delta }X\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{P_2O_5}Y\xrightarrow{H_2O/{H^{+}}}Z $

Options:

A) $ CH_3CH_2CONH_2 $

B) $ CH_3CN $

C) $ CH_3COOH $

D) $ {{(CH_3CO)}_2}O $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ CH_3COONH_4\xrightarrow[(-H_2O)]{heat}\underset{X}{\mathop{CH_3CONH_2}} $

$ \xrightarrow[(-H_2O)]{P_2O_5}\underset{Y}{\mathop{CH_3CN}}\xrightarrow[(-NH_3)]{H_3{O^{+}}}\underset{Z}{\mathop{CH_3COOH}} $
