Question: Predict the product ‘B’ in the sequence of reactions $ HC\equiv CH\xrightarrow[(percent) HgSO_4]{30(percent)H_2SO_4}A\xrightarrow[{}]{NaOH}B $

Options:

A) $ CH_3COONa $

B) $ CH_3COOH $

C) $ CH_3CHO $

D) $ CH_3-\underset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}H-CH_2-CHO $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ HC\equiv CH\xrightarrow[HgSO_4]{30(percent)HgSO_4}\underset{[A]}{\mathop{CH_3CHO}}\xrightarrow{NaOH} $

$ \underset{[B]}{\mathop{CH_3CHOHCH_2CHO}} $
