Question
Match the LIST-I with LIST-II List-I (Compound) List-II (Test) A. Cyclohexanol I. Hinsberg's reagent test B. Cyclohexylamine II. Phthalein dye test C. Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde III. Lucas test D. Phenol IV. Tollen's test Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- B. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- C. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
- D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
Answer
A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step solution
Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol, which gives a positive Lucas test. Cyclohexylamine is a primary aliphatic amine, which reacts with Hinsberg's reagent (benzenesulfonyl chloride) to form a product soluble in alkali. Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde is an aliphatic aldehyde, which gives a positive Tollen's test (silver mirror test). Phenol undergoes the phthalein dye test by reacting with phthalic anhydride in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to form phenolphthalein, which gives a pink colour in an alkaline medium. Thus, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
