For the reaction given below : The compound which is not formed as a product in the reaction is a :

Options

  1. Adiol
  2. Bmonocarboxylic acid
  3. Ccompound with both alcohol and acid functional groups
  4. Ddicarboxylic acid

Correct answer

D. dicarboxylic acid

Step-by-step solution

Alpha hydrogen is not present in given carbonyl compound so, Cannizzaro reaction takes place. In this reaction one molecule get oxidised to salt of carboxylic acid and another molecule get reduced to alcohol. Hydrolysis of salt of carboxylic acid will produce carboxylic acid. Reaction can be represented as below: Clearly, dicarboxylic acid is not produced.
