An organic compound 'X' having molecular formula C5H10O yields phenyl hydrazone and gives negative response to the Iodoform test and Tollen's test. It produces n-pentane on reduction. 'X' could be:
3-pentanone
n-amyl alcohol
pentanal
2-pentanone
As we learnt in
Haloform reaction -
- wherein
and
Oxidation of aldehydes with Tollen's reagent / silver mirror test -
– Distinguish aldehydes from ketones
.– Tollen's reagent = ammoniacal silver nitrate solution.
- wherein
Option 1)
3-pentanone
This is the correct option
Option 2)
n-amyl alcohol
This option is incorrect
Option 3)
pentanal
This option is incorrect
Option 4)
2-pentanone
This option is incorrect
