Two moles of organic compound 'A' on treatment with a strong base gives two compounds B and C. Compound 'B' on dehydrogenation with Cu gives 'A' while acidification of 'C yields carboxylic acid 'D' having molecular formula of CH_2O_2. Identify the compounds A, B, C and D. |

Answer» Solution :COMPOUNDS A to D are identified as follows : `UNDERSET((A))(2HCHO overset("Conc.KOH")to underset( C)(HCOOK) + underset(B)(CH_(3)OH)` `underset(B)(CH_(3)OH) overset(Cu)underset(573 K) to H - underset(A)overset(O)overset(||)C-H` `underset ( C)(HCOOK) +HCl to underset(D)(HCOOH) + KCl` |
