Ethanoic acid undergoes Hell-Volhard Zelinsky reaction but methanoic acid does not, because of

Options

  1. Apresence of - H atom in ethanoic acid
  2. Babsence of - H atom in ethanoic acid
  3. Chigher acidic strength of ethanoic acid than methanoic acid
  4. Dpresence of - H atom in methanoic acid

Correct answer

A. presence of - H atom in ethanoic acid

Step-by-step solution

Ethanoic acid has - H atom, thus it undergoes Hell-Volhard Zelinsky reaction. Whereas methanoic acid does not has - H atom, thus it does not give this test.
