a. Predict the products (i) CH_(3)COCH_(3)underset("Conc."HCl)overset(Zn-Hg)(to) (ii)CH_(3)CoCl+H_(2)overset(Pd-BaSO_(4))(to) B. Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger? (i) F-CH_(2)-COOH or Cl-CH_(2)-COOH ORCH_3 COOH

Answer»

Solution :a. (i)
`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3)underset("Conc"HCl)overset(Zn-Hg)(to)CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3)+H_(2)O`
(ii) `CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-Cl+H_(2)overset(Pd-BaSO_(4))(to) CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-H+HCl`

b. (i) `F-CH_(2)-COOH` is stronger acid DUE to higher -I-effect.
(ii) Phenol ismore ACIDIC than acetic acid.
