Question

Compound $A,C_8{H}_{10}O$, is found to react with $NaOI$ (produced by reacting $Y$ with $NaOH$) and yields a yellow precipitate with characteristic smell.
A and Y are respectively:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Option (4) is secondary alcohol which on oxidation gives phenymethyl ketone (Acetophenone). This on reaction with $I_2$ and $NaOH$ form iodoform and sodium benzoate.
$2NaOH+I_2\to NaOI+NaI+H_{2}O$

Hence, option (a) is correct.
