NEST2017ChemistryAldehydes and Ketones
Compounds X and Y were isolated from two odoriferous plants. Their structures are shown below. The correct statement with respect to X and Y is:
Options
- AX and Y have different melting and boiling points.
- BIf the double bond and the carbonyl group in the ring of both X and Y are reduced completely, a pair of enanti
- CA mixture of equal amounts of X and Y shows optical activity.
- DIf the carbonyl group in X is reduced to CH ₂ group, the product is optically active.
Correct answer
D. If the carbonyl group in X is reduced to CH ₂ group, the product is optically active.
