JEE MainChemistryAldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic AcidsMCQ+4 / −1
The major product of the following reaction is : 

- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
The question is incomplete: the reaction scheme/image is missing, and even the option structures A, B, C, D are not provided.
Because of that, the major product cannot be determined from the given text alone.
What is needed
To solve this, I need at least one of the following:
- The reaction equation / substrate / reagent / conditions, or
- The image of the reaction, or
- The structures corresponding to options A, B, C, and D.
Why the answer cannot be derived
In aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids, the product depends strongly on the reagent and conditions, for example:
- reduction gives alcohols,
- oxidation gives acids,
- Grignard reagents give alcohols after hydrolysis,
- aldol reactions give -hydroxy carbonyls or -unsaturated compounds,
- Cannizzaro reaction gives alcohol + acid salt,
- HVZ reaction gives -halo acids,
- Clemmensen/Wolff–Kishner reduce carbonyls to hydrocarbons.
So without the actual reaction, choosing option A would be only a guess.
Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is A, but since the problem statement is incomplete, I cannot verify whether A is truly correct.
Please provide the missing reaction/figure/options, and I will solve it step-by-step properly.
