Solution
The correct option is CCr3+ DU in A=(2nC+2)−2H2=(2×9+2)−122=4∘ (It shows a benzene ring which is also confirmed by the oxidation of (A) to benzoic acid (PhCOOH).) i. The reaction of Na with (A) shows that it contains (-OH) group. (A) is chiral, so the possible structures of (A) can be (II) will give iodoform test. But compound (A) does not give the iodoform test. So the structure of (A) is (I).
