A ← Red P + HI CH 3 COOH → LiAlH 4 B . What is not true for A and B ?
Options
- AA is hydrocarbon of general formula C n H 2 n + 2 while B belongs to alkanol
- BA can be obtained by reducing C H 3 C H 2 C l while B by its hydrolysis
- CA is alkene while B is alkanal
- DA and B both belongs to different homologous series
Correct answer
C. A is alkene while B is alkanal
Step-by-step solution
A – C H 3 C H 3 it is reduction of carboxylic acid into alkane with Red P / H I and B - C H 3 C H 2 O H , reduction of carboxylic acid into alcohol by lithiumaluminium hydride.
