Correct answer: A, B, D
- Identify P from cumene process
Iso-propylbenzene is cumene. On oxidation with followed by acidic hydrolysis, cumene hydroperoxide gives:
So,
- Identify \mathbf{Q} from reaction of acetone with 3 equivalents of chlorine
Acetone is a methyl ketone. Exhaustive -chlorination of both methyl groups with 3 equivalents of gives:
But from the next step with , this must be the haloform-type cleavage precursor, namely chloral-related chemistry obtained through chlorination of acetone to give trichloroacetone:
Then with :
Thus,
- Check option A
is acetone and is chloroform. In presence of , they undergo the reaction used in chloretone synthesis:
This is chloretone (chlorobutanol), obtained after acidification/workup.
Hence statement A is correct.
- Check option B
is chloroform. Chloroform on oxidation by air/oxygen in presence of light gives phosgene:
So statement B is correct.
- Check option C
If , then with aqueous it undergoes haloform cleavage to give:
It does not give and .
Hence C is incorrect.
- Check option D
is calcium acetate. On dry distillation/heating, calcium salts of carboxylic acids give ketones:
Thus heating gives acetone, i.e. .
So D is correct.
- Final answer
Correct statements are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
