An organic compound (A) undergoes the following reactions:
Show Hint
- Structure 1
- Structure 2
- Structure 3
- Structure 4
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Given reactions:
- Reaction 1: \( \text{H}_2, \, \text{Pt} \) (Hydrogenation)
- Reaction 2: \( \text{Hot} \, \text{alk. KMnO}_4 \) (Oxidation to Carboxylic acid)
- Reaction 3: \( \text{H}^+, \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (Acidic Hydrolysis)
The compound (A) undergoes these reactions:
\[ \text{H}_2, \, \text{Pt} \rightarrow \text{Saturated compound} \] \[ \text{Hot alk. KMnO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Carboxylation of the methyl group} \] \[ \text{H}^+, \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Carboxylic acid formation} \]
Step-by-Step Analysis:
Let's consider the structure of compound (A). The first reaction with hydrogen (\( \text{H}_2 \)) and platinum (\( \text{Pt} \)) suggests that the compound contains a double bond or an unsaturation. Hydrogenation would reduce the unsaturation to a saturated structure. The second reaction with hot alkaline KMnO₄ is a strong oxidizing reaction that cleaves the methyl group (\( -\text{CH}_3 \)) in methylbenzene (toluene) and oxidizes it to a carboxyl group (\( -\text{COOH} \)), forming benzoic acid. The final acidic hydrolysis ensures the formation of carboxylic acid as the final product.
Conclusion: Compound (A) is likely to be toluene (methylbenzene), and after the reactions, the product will be benzoic acid.
Therefore, compound (A) corresponds to: Option 1 (Toluene), and the final product is benzoic acid.
