Treatment of compound \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{.....}\ce{O}\\
\phantom{.....}||\\
\ce{Ph - O - C - Ph}
\end{array}\] with \[\ce{NaOH}\] solution yields

(i) Phenol

(ii) Sodium phenoxide

Arrange the following in decreasing order of their acidic strength. Give explanation for the arrangement.

\[\ce{C6H5COOH, FCH2COOH, NO2CH2COOH}\]

Assertion: Compounds containing \[\ce{-CHO}\] group are easily oxidised to corresponding carboxylic acids.

Reason: Carboxylic acids can be reduced to alcohols by treatment with \[\ce{LiAlH4}\].

Write down functional isomers of a carbonyl compound with molecular formula \[\ce{C3H6O}\]. Which isomer will react faster with \[\ce{HCN}\] and why? Explain the mechanism of the reaction also. Will the reaction lead to the completion with the conversion of whole reactant into product at reaction conditions? If a strong acid is added to the reaction mixture what will be the effect on concentration of the product and why?

Complete the following reaction.

The letters ‘D’ or ‘L’ before the name of a stereoisomer of a compound indicate the correlation of configuration of that particular stereoisomer. This refers to their relation with one of the isomers of glyceraldehyde. Predict whether the following compound has ‘D’ or ‘L’ configuration.

Assertion: All naturally occurring α-aminoacids except glycine are optically active.

Reason: Most naturally occurring amino acids have L-configuration.
