Question

An organic compound $A (C_{8} H_{6})$ gives brick red precipitate with ammoniacal solution of $C u_{2} C l_{2}$ . A on treatment with ammoniacal solution of $H g S O_{4}$ yields $B (C_{8} H_{8} O)$ , B gives positive iodoform test B can also be prepared by the reaction of benzene with acetic anhydride in presence of $A l C l_{3}$ identify A and B.

Solution

Compound A, ethynylbenzene reacts with ammoniacal cuprous chloride (Fehling solution) to form red ppt of cuprous oxide. it also reacts with ammoniacal mercuric sulphate to form compound B (acetophenone) which can also be obtained by the acetylation of benzene with acetic anhydride in presence of aluminum chloride (Friedel crafts acetylation). Acetophenone reacts wih iodine in alkaline medium (iodoform test) to form yellow ppt of iodoform.
