Hydrocarbons - Result Question 57
####59. Products of the following reaction: [2005] $CH_3 C \equiv C \cdot CH_2 CH_3 \xrightarrow[\text{ (2) Hydrolysis }]{\text{ (1) } O_3} \ldots .$. are:
(a) $CH_3 COOH+CO_2$
(b) $CH_3 COOH+HOOC \cdot CH_2 CH_3$
(c) $CH_3 CHO+CH_3 CH_2 CHO$
(d) $CH_3 COOH+CH_3 COCH_3$
Show Answer
Solution:
(b)
$ \underset{\text{ Acetic acid }}{CH_3 COOH}+\underset{\text{ Propionic acid }}{CH_3 CH_2 COOH} $
The glyoxal formed as an intermediate is oxidised by $H_2 O_2$ to give the acids.
