Question

An organic compound “P” of molecular formula C6H12O3 gives positive lodoform test but negative Tollen’s test. When “P” is treated with dilute acid, it produces “Q”. “Q” gives positive Tollen’s test and also iodoform test. The structure of “P” is :

(A) CH3– C – CH – CH2 O OCH3 OCH3
(B) CH3– C – CH2 – CH – OCH3 O OCH3
(C) H – C – CH2 – CH2 – CH – OCH3 O OCH3
(D) CH3 – C – C – CH3 O OCH3 OCH3

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. C–H O–CH3 O–CH3 O +ve Iodoform test –ve Tollen's test H2O/H O CH=O +ve Iodoform test +ve Tollen's test
