Considering the following reaction sequence, the correct statement(s) is(are)

Considering the following reaction sequence, the correct statement(s) is(are)

Options

  1. ACompounds PP and QQ are carboxylic acids.
  2. BCompound SS decolorizes bromine water.
  3. CCompounds PP and SS react with hydroxylamine to give the corresponding oximes.
  4. DCompound RR reacts with dialkylcadmium to give the corresponding tertiary alcohol.

Correct answer

A. Compounds PP and QQ are carboxylic acids.

Step-by-step solution

Benzene undergoes friedel craft's reaction with succinic anhydride in presence of anhydrous AlCl3 to form P.The mechanism of the reaction is electrophilic substitution.

The keto group in P gets reduced on reaction Zn/Hg in HCl to form Q that is 4-phenylbutanoic acid.

This reacts with thionyl chloride to form R, that is

4-Phenylbutanoyl chloride.

R again undergoes friedel craft's reaction to form S.

S gets reduced on reaction Zn/Hg in HCl to form a hydrocarbon as given in the reactions below.

Considering the following reaction sequence, the correct statement(s) is(are)

Compound (S)\left(S\right) can not decolorizes bromine water.

Considering the following reaction sequence, the correct statement(s) is(are)

R2Cd{R}_{2}Cd is a less reactive nucleophile so reaction stops at carbonyl group.

Due to the presence of carbonyl group both P and S forms oxime with hydroxyl amine.
