Question

An organic compound $^{'} A^{'}$ on treatment with ammoniacal silver nitrate gives metallic silver and produces a yellow crystalline precipitate of molecular formula $C_{9} H_{10} N_{4} O_{4}$ , on treatement with Brady's reagent. Give the structure of the organic compound $^{'} A^{'}$ .

Solution

Since the organic compound $^{'} A^{'}$ reduces ammoniacal silver nitrate (Tollen's reagent), it must be an aldehyde. Moreover, with Brady's reagent (2, 4-dinitro phenylhydrazine) it gives a precipitate of molecular formula $C_{9} H_{10} N_{4} O_{4}$ , it must be propanal $(C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O)$ . The reactions are as follows.

An organic compound ′A′ on treatment with ammoniacal silver nitrate gives metallic silver and produces a yellow crystalline precipitate of molecular formula C9H10N4O4, on treatement with Brady's reagent. Give the structure of the organic compound ′A′.

Since the organic compound ′A′ reduces ammoniacal silver nitrate (Tollen's reagent), it must be an aldehyde. Moreover, with Brady's reagent (2, 4-dinitro phenylhydrazine) it gives a precipitate of molecular formula C9H10N4O4, it must be propanal (CH3CH2CHO). The reactions are as follows.
