Which of the below reactions produce carboxylic acids?

(a) Figure MnO2CH3COCH3

(b) Ph-CCl3 (i) aq.NaOH  (ii) H2O/H⊕

(c) C2H5Br(i)Mg(ii)CO2(iii)H2O/H⊕

(d) CH3CH=CHCH3K2Cr2O7/H2SO4Δ

  • A
    a, b, c
  • Correct answer
    B
    b, c, d
  • C
    a, c, d
  • D
    a, b, d

Solution

(b) Ph-CCl3→(ii)H2O/H+(i)aq.NaOHPh-C(OH)3→-H2OH2O/H+PhCOOH

(c) Alkyl halide when reacts with magnesium metal, it forms grignard reagent which on reaction with dry ice forms carboxylic acid.

C2H5Br + Mg→C2H5MgBr→H2O/H+CO2CH3COOH

(d) Alkenes on oxidation with acidified dichromate forms carboxylic acid depending upon nature of alkene.

Here, =CH is oxidised to -COOH as:

CH3-CH=CH-CH3→∆K2Cr2O7/H2SO42CH3COOH

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
