Hydrocarbons 2 Question 44

46. The correct statement with respect to product $Y$ is

(a) it gives a positive Tollen’s test and is a functional isomer of $X$

(b) it gives a positive Tollen’s test and is a geometrical isomer of $X$

(c) it gives a positive iodoform test and is a functional isomer of $X$

(d) it gives a positive iodoform test and is a geometrical isomer of $X$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 46. (b)

Solution:

  1. PLAN This problem can be solved by using the concept of iodoform test and functional isomerism.

Iodoform test The compound containing $-\mathrm{COCH}_{3}$ or

$-\mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH})$ group will undergo iodoform test

  • Thus, $X$ and $Y$ are functional isomers of each other and $Y$ gives iodoform test due to the presence of $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CO}$ group as Indicated. Hence, correct choice is (c).
