Question:

The correct match between item 'I' and item 'II' is :
Item 'I' (compound)Item 'II' (reagent)
(A) Lysine(P) 1-naphthol
(B) Furfural(Q) ninhydrin
(C) Benzylalcohol(R) KMnO4
(D) Styrene(S) Ceric ammonium nitrate

Show Hint

Match each compound with its characteristic test: amino acid with ninhydrin, furfural with 1-naphthol (Molisch type), alcohol with ceric ammonium nitrate, alkene with Baeyer's reagent (KMnO4).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(A) Lysine is an alpha-amino acid, which gives a purple (Ruhemann's purple) colour with ninhydrin: A to Q.
(B) Furfural, an aldehyde from pentoses, condenses with 1-naphthol (alpha-naphthol) in conc. H2SO4 to give a purple ring, as in the Molisch test: B to P.
(C) Benzyl alcohol (an alcohol) gives a red/orange complex with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN test for alcohols): C to S.
(D) Styrene has a C=C which decolourises alkaline KMnO4 (Baeyer's test): D to R.
So A-Q, B-P, C-S, D-R.
