A carbonyl compound A(C4H8O), which undergoes haloform reaction gives compound B on reduction. B on heating with sulphuric acid gives a compound C which forms a mono-ozonide D. D on hydrolysis in present of zinc dust gives only acetaldehyde E.
What is the name of the compound A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is option 1. Butan-2-one
Since carbonyl compound A(C4H8O) undergoes haloform reaction, it must contain the group CH3CO. Therefore it is a ketone and must be biutan-2-one.
