Hydrocarbons Question 187

Question: $ CH_3C\equiv CCH_3\underset{(ii)H_2O/Zn}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{(i)X}}}\underset{OO}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{CH_3-C-C-CH_3}}}} $ X in the above reaction is [CPMT 1985; MP PET 1997; Roorkee Qualifying 1998; DPMT 2001]

Options:

A) $ HNO_3 $

B) $ O_2 $

C) $ O_3 $

D) $ KMnO_4 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ CH_3-C\equiv C-CH_3\underset{\text{(ii)}Zn/H_2O}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{(i)}O_3}}}CH_3-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_3 $
