Question

Which option is not true about the following reaction sequence?

• A. Both B and D produce carboxylic acid on acidic hydrolysis
• B. Compound D on acidic hydrolysis produce compound C
• C. One of the compounds produced on acidic hydrolysis of D gives a positive test for Tollens'
• D. Compound D produces a compound on reduction with $Sn/HCl$ which reacts with $C{S}_2$ followed by $HgC{l}_2$ giving a compound having the smell of mustard oil and a black coloured compound

Answer 1

The correct option is D Compound D produces a compound on reduction with $Sn/HCl$ which reacts with $C{S}_2$ followed by $HgC{l}_2$ giving a compound having the smell of mustard oil and a black coloured compound





On acidic hydrolysis of D produces formic acid as one of the product which gives a positive test for Tollens'.

Compound D upon reduction with $Sn/HCl$ will produce a $2^o$ amine which does not give the mustard oil test.
