Q 11 :

Consider the reactions,

Identify A, X, Y and Z.                          [2017]

  • A – Methoxymethane,      X – Ethanol,           Y – Ethanoic acid,         Z – Semicarbazide.

     

  • A – Ethanal,          X – Ethanol,               Y – But-2-enal,      Z – Semicarbazone.

     

  • A – Ethanol,         X – Acetaldehyde,            Y – Butanone,      Z – Hydrazone.
