(a) Carry out the following conversions :

(i)P-nitrotoluene to 2-bromobenzoic\; acid

(ii) Propanoic acid to acetic acid

(b) An alkene with molecular formulaC_{5}H_{10} on ozonolysis gives a mixture of two compounds, B and C. Compound B gives positive
Fehling test and also reacts with iodine and NaOH solution. Compound C does not give Fehling solution test but forms
iodoform. Identify the compounds A, B and C.

(a) (1) P-nitrotoluene to 2-bromobenzoic\; acid

       

(2) Propanoic acid to acetic acid 

        CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH\overset{LiALH_{4}}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}OH\overset{H^{+}}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}CH= CH_{2}\xrightarrow[OH^{-}]{KMNO_{4}}CH_{3}COOH

(b) (A) C_{6}H_{10}-(alkene)
                     \downarrow ozonolysis
             B+C

B= Positive Fenling - aldehyde group =-CHO

  =  Positive Iodoform test \Rightarrow CH_{3}CHO\; \; (B)

C - negative testing

    = positive Iodoform 

    =


 

B=CH_{3}CHO
 

C=CH_{3}-COCH_{3}
