An organic compound P having molecular formula C ₆ H ₆ O ₃ gives ferric chloride test and does not have intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound P reacts with 3 equivalents of NH ₂ OH to produce oxime Q . Treatment of P with excess methyl iodide in the presence of KOH produces compound R as the major product. Reaction of R with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with H ₃ O ⁺ gives compound S as
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
No. of - CH ₃ group (methyl group) in S is 12 Alternative solution organic compound P = C ₆ H ₆ O ₃ positive test with FeCl ₃ Total number of methyl group =6+2=8 and if only main organic product is taken than number of methyl group =6 (side product is not consider)
