Question

Find out number of reagents which can oxidise MeO||CH
(I)I2/NaOH(II)KMnO4/H(III)Tollen's reagent(IV)LiAlH4(V)NaBH4(VI)SeO2/Δ
(VII)NH2NH2/NaOH

Open in App
Solution

(I) Iodoform test is given by ethanal.
CH3CHO+I2+NaOHCHI3+HCOONa
So, I2/NaOH is an oxidizing agent.
(II) KMnO4 is oxidising agent which oxidize aldehydes to acid.
CH3CHO+KMnO4H+CH3COOH
(III) Tollen's reagent is [Ag(NH3)2]OH, which is also a oxidizing agent.
CH3CHO+2[Ag(NH3)2]OH+H2OCH3COOH+2Ag+4NH3
(IV) LiAlH4 is reducing agent.
CH3CHO+LiAlH4CH3CH2OH
(V) NaBH4 is reducing agent.
CH3CHO+NaBH4CH3CH2OH
(VI) SeO2 is an oxidizing agent which oxidizes ethanal to glyoxal.
CH3CHO+SeO2ΔOHCCHO (Glyoxal)
(VII)CH3CHO+NH2NH2NaOH−−−CH3CH3+N2
Here reduction occurs.
So, NH2NH2/NaOH is a reducing agent.
