Question

Consider the following reaction sequence and find correct option(s).

• A. Both A and B have same index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD)
• B. All A, B and C have same index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD)
• C. B can give Tollens' test positive
• D. Both A and C can react with $B{r}_2$ in $CC{l}_4$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Both A and B have same index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD)
C B can give Tollens' test positive
D Both A and C can react with $B{r}_2$ in $CC{l}_4$


(a) Degree of unsaturation in A and B is 2.

(b) C has 3 degrees of unsaturation.

(c) B has aldehyde group so it can give Tollens' test positive.
