Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Vanillin
will react with NaOH and also with Tollen's reagent.
Statement (II) : Vanillin
will undergo self aldol condensation very easily.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement (I) : Vanillin
will react with NaOH and also with Tollen's reagent.
Statement (II) : Vanillin
will undergo self aldol condensation very easily.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- AStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
Correct answer
B. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Phenolic group soluble in NaOH
Benzaldehyde derivative react with Tollen's reagent.
Vanillin does not give self-aldol reaction due to lack of acidic H for condensation.
