Question

Which of the following is not a condensation product of acetone?

• A. diacetone alcohol
• B. diacetone ammonia
• C. acetone oxime
• D. acetone cyanohydrin

Answer 1

The correct option is D acetone cyanohydrin

A condensation reaction is one, which condenses two or more molecules to make one single compound.

$A$ and $B$ are condensation products as they giving diacetone products.

Acetone oxime is synthesized by the condensation of acetone and hydroxylamine in the presence of HCl.

$(C{H}_3{)}_{2}CO+H_{2}NOH\to (C{H}_3{)}_{2}C=NOH+H_{2}O$

Acetone cyanohydrin is the addition product of acetone and $HCN$.

Others are condensation products.

Hence, option $D$ is the answer.
