Practicing Success
An organic compound (A) with molecular formula C6H6O gives a characteristic colour with aqueous solution. When (A) is treated with CO2 and NaOH at 410K under pressure, it gives compound (B) which upon acidification gives compound (C). Compound (C) reacts with acetyl chloride to give (D) which is a popular pain killer. |
Identify the product (D)? |
Salicylic acid Aspirin Acetyl salicylate None of the above |
Aspirin |
(i) Since, compound (A) with molecular formula C6H6O gives characteristic colour with FeCl3, therefore (A) must be a phenol. |
