Question
A hydrocarbon (A) with molecular formula C5H10 on ozonolysis gives two products (B) and (C). Both (B) and (C) give a yellow precipitate when heated with iodine in presence of NaOH while only (B) give a silver mirror on reaction with Tollen’s reagent.
- Identify (A), (B) and (C).
- Write the reaction of B with Tollen’s reagent.
- Write the equation for iodoform test for C.
- Write down the equation for aldol condensation reaction of B and C.

Solution
a. A is an alkene.
B is an aldehyde with –CH3 group.
C is a methyl ketone.
b. \[\ce{CH3CHO + [Ag(NH3)2]^{+} + OH^{-} -> CH3COO^{-} + Ag + NH3 + H2O}\]
c. \[\ce{CH3COCH3 + NaOH + I2 -> CHl3 + CH3COONa}\]
d. A: CH(CH3) = C(CH3)2, B: CH3CHO, C: O = C(CH3)2
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3COCH3 + CH3CHO}\phantom{............................................................................}\\
\ce{↓ Ba(OH)2}\phantom{.....................................................................}\\
\phantom{}\ce{(CH3)2C(OH)CH2COCH3 + CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO + (CH3)2C(OH)CH2CHO + CH3CH(OH)CH2COCH3}\\
\ce{↓ Heat}\phantom{.........................................................................}\\
\ce{(CH3)2C = CHCOCH3 + CH3CH = CHCHO + (CH3)2C = CHCHO + CH3CH = CHCOCH3}\phantom{............}
\end{array}\]

You are given four organic compounds “A”, “B” , “C” and “D”. The compounds “A”, “B” and “C” form an orange-red precipitate with 2, 4 DNP reagent. Compounds “A” and “B” reduce Tollen’s reagent while compounds “C” and “D” do not. Both “B” and “C” give a yellow precipitate when heated with iodine in the presence of NaOH. Compound “D” gives brisk effervescence with sodium bicarbonate solution. Identify “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” given the number of carbon atoms in three of these carbon compounds is three while one has two carbon atoms. Give an explanation for our answer.
