Q 1 :    

Acid D formed in above reaction is:                                   [2024]

  • Malonic acid

     

  • Oxalic acid

     

  • Succinic acid

     

  • Gluconic acid

     

(3)

 



Q 2 :    

The total number of compounds from below when treated with hot KMnO4 giving benzoic acid is:           [2025]

  • 3

     

  • 5

     

  • 4

     

  • 6

     

(2)

According to NTA following five compounds give benzoic acid upon oxidation with KMnO4, because presence of a benzylic hydrogen is necessary for oxidation of side chain to –COOH.

But if there is oxygen or multiple bond at benzylic position, then also oxidation occurs.
