The product obtained by the reaction of an aldehyde and hydroxylamine is
Aldehydes and ketones are generally reduced by :
-
Solution
Aldehydes and ketones are reduced to alkanes by Clemmensen reduction.
Oxalic acid on heating with conc. H2S2O4 produces
-
Solution
Which of the following compound will show positive silver mirror test ?
-
Solution
In an alkaline medium, acetaldehyde undergoes:
-
Solution
Acetaldehyde has α-H atoms. In alkaline medium it will undergo aldol condensation to produce aldol(β-hydroxyaldehyde).
Cannizzaro reaction occurs with
-
Solution
Cannizzaro reaction is given by aldehydes and ketones which do not have α-hydrogen atom. Benzaldehyde(C6H5CHO) does not have α-H atom and hencegives Cannizzaro reaction.
Which of the following is best method for reducing 3-bromopropanal to 1-bromopropane –
-
Solution
In Wolf-Kishnerreduction NH_{2}NH_{2}/\overline{OH} is used. Br- can be replaced by OH-.
does not show aldol condensation because
-
Solution
(CH3)3C – CHO does not show aldol condensation because it does not contain α-hydrogen atom.
