NEETChemistryAldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic AcidsMCQ+4 / −1
An organic compound 'X' having molecular formula C5H10O yields phenylhydrazone and gives negative response to the iodoform test and Tollens' test. It produces n-pentane on reduction. 'X' could be
- A3-pentanone
- Bn-amyl alcohol
- Cpentanal
- D2-pentanone
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
As the compound X yields phenyl hydrazone
and gives negative response to the iodoform test
and Tollen’s test so it must contain a C = O group
but neither a methyl ketone nor in aldehyde.
Thus, the structure of X will be
