JEE Advanced2008ChemistryAlcohols Phenols and EthersActual
Paragraph: A tertiary alcohol H upon acid catalysed dehydration gives a product I . Ozonolysis of I leads to compounds J and K . Compound J upon reaction with KOH gives benzyl alcohol and a compound L , where K on reaction with KOH gives only M . Question: The structures of compounds J, K and L , respectively, are
Options
- APhCOCH ₃, PhCH ₂ COCH ₃ and PhCH ₂ COO ⁻ K ⁺
- BPhCHO , PhCH ₂ CHO and PhCH ₂ COO ⁻ K ⁺
- CPhCOCH ₃, PhCH ₂ CHO and CH ₃ COO ⁻ K ⁺
- DPhCHO , PhCOCH ₃ and PhCOO ⁻ K ⁺
Correct answer
D. PhCHO , PhCOCH ₃ and PhCOO ⁻ K ⁺
Step-by-step solution
J= PhCH = O K= PhCOCH ₃ L= PhCOO ⁻ K ⁺
