Options
- A(A) q,t, (B) p,s, (C) r,t, (D) s
- B(A) p,q,s,t, (B) p,s,t, (C) p, (D) r
- C(A) p,s, (B) p,s, (C) p, (D) s
- D(A) p,q,s,t, (B) p,s,t, (C) r, (D) r
Correct answer
B. (A) p,q,s,t, (B) p,s,t, (C) p, (D) r
Step-by-step solution
(A) ( CH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂ CN ) (Butanenitrile) is a nitrile that can be reduced. It matches with ( p , q ), and s (reduction methods) and can also undergo t (hydrolysis to a carboxylic acid). (B) ( CH ₃ CH ₂ OCOCH ₃ ) (Ethyl acetate) is an ester. It can undergo ( t ) (alkaline hydrolysis) and can be reduced by ( s ) (DIBAL-H) and other reducing agents like those in ( p ). (C) ( CH ₃ CH = CHCH ₂ OH ) (Crotyl alcohol) is an alcohol with a double bond. The double bond can be reduced by ( p ( P d - C / H ₂ ) ). (D) ( CH ₃ C
