JEE AdvancedChemistryAldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic AcidsMultiple correct+4 / −2
The major product of the following reaction is 

- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
The question as provided is incomplete: the reaction scheme and the structures of options A–D are missing.
Without the substrate/reagents and without the option structures, it is not possible to determine the major product.
What is needed
To solve this organic chemistry product question, I need:
- The starting compound
- The reagent(s)/conditions
- The structures corresponding to options A, B, C, and D
Why the answer cannot be derived
In aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids, many different reactions are possible, for example:
- nucleophilic addition
- oxidation/reduction
- aldol condensation
- Cannizzaro reaction
- esterification
- decarboxylation
- acyl substitution
The major product depends entirely on the missing reaction details. Therefore, the stored answer A cannot be verified from the given information.
