Question

When ${CH}_{3}CHO$ is treated with excess of HCHO in aqueous solution of $N{a}_2{CO}_3$, a product, used in making explosive, is obtained finally. Find the number of primary alcoholic groups present in one molecule of the product.

Answer 1

the product produced is when the $CHCO$ is treated more than $HCHO$ in an aqueous solution of $N{a}_{2}C{O}_3$ pentaerythritol tetranitrate and $OH$ a number of groups or four of which are each from the nitrogen groups as 4 Nitro groups are in the form of replacement.
