Q.

Identify product [A], [B] and [C] in the following reaction sequence.                        [2025]

CH3-CCHH2Pd/C[A](ii)Zn,H2O(i)O3[B]+[C]
 

1 [A]:CH3CH2CH3,[B]:CH3CHO,[C]:HCHO  
2  
3 [A]:CH3-CH=CH2,[B]:CH3CHO,[C]:CH3CH2OH  
4 [A]:CH3-CH=CH2,[B]:CH3CHO,[C]:HCHO  

Ans.

Catalytic hydrogenation of alkyne with Pd/C reduces an alkyne to alkane. To stop the reduction at alkene stage poison such as BaSO4/CaCO3 is needed. However in this question as per given choices, we need to stop the reduction upto alkene stage.

CH3-CC-H+H2Pd/CCH3-CH[A]=CH2(ii)Zn+H2O(i)O3CH3-[A]CHO+O=[C]CH2
