(a) Carry out the following conversions :
(i) to
(ii) Propanoic acid to acetic acid
(b) An alkene with molecular formula on ozonolysis gives a mixture of two compounds, B and C. Compound B gives positive
Fehling test and also reacts with iodine and solution. Compound C does not give Fehling solution test but forms
iodoform. Identify the compounds A, B and C.
(a) (1) to
(2) Propanoic acid to acetic acid
(b) (A)
B= Positive Fenling - aldehyde group
= Positive Iodoform test
C - negative testing
= positive Iodoform
=
