An organic compound with molecular formula $C_{9} H_{10} O$ forms 2, 4-DNP derivative, reduces Tollen's reagent and undergoes Cannizaro reaction. On vigorous oxidation it gives a dicarboxylic acid which is used in the preparation of terylene. Identify the organic compound.

Open in App

Solution

The positive Brady's test (ie reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) indicates that the organic compound is carbonyl compound and Tolllen's and Cannizoaro reactions indicate that it is an aldehyde without $α$ -hydrogen atom. As the end product is terephthalic benzaldehyde
