Nandini Patel answered |
The double bonds in alkenes and double bonds in carbonyl groups are VERY different in terms of reactivity. The C=C is less reactive due to C=O electronegativity attributed to the oxygen and its two lone pairs of electrons. One pair of the oxygen lone pairs are located in 2s while the other pair are in 2p orbital where its axis is directed perpendicular to the direction of the pi orbitals. The Carbonyl groups properties are directly tied to its electronic structure as well as geometric positioning. For example, the electronegativity of oxygen also polarizes the pi bond allowing the single bonded substituent connected to become electron withdrawing.
Which of the following statement about C=O and C=C is correct?- a)Both consist of a sigma and pi bond
- b)C=O is polar but C=C is non-polar
- c)Both a and b are correct
- d)Both C=O and C=C undergo nucleophilic addition reactions
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Knowledge Hub answered |
- The first bond formed is a sigma bind and the second one is a pi bond.
- O has a higher electronegativity than C and hence the electron cloud will be shifted towards the O atom, making the compound polar.
- This is not possible in C=C.

Gayatri Banerjee answered |
Functional isomers
Explanation: Propanone (CH3COCH3) and prop-2-en-1-ol (CH2=CHCH2OH) are examples of functional isomers because they have the same molecular formula (C3H6O) but different functional groups. Propanone has a carbonyl group (C=O) while prop-2-en-1-ol has an alcohol group (OH) and a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C).

One mole of a symmetrical alkene on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde having a molecular weight of mass of 44 u. The alkene is
CH3CH=CHCH3 +O3 ------2CH3CHO
molecular mass of CH3CHO is 12*2+4*1+16 =44
Thus the alkene is 2 butene and the aldehyde formed is ethanal(acetaldehyde)

A on acid hydrolysis forms two compounds B and C, both are enantiomeric. C neither reduces Fehling’s solution nor forms iodoform with alkaline iodine solution. C on oxidation with CrO3/HCI /pyridineforms D which is still resolvable into enantiomers. D on further treatment with aqueous (C2H5O)3 Al solution gives back A.
Q.
How many different stereoisomers exist for A ?
a)
2
b)
4
c)
5
d)
6

Dishani Kulkarni answered |
From the given information, it appears that A is an ester. Since, D on Tischenko reaction gives back A indicates that in ester, both acid and alcohol fragments (B and C respectively) has five carbon atoms each. Also, C is an alcohol which has a chiral carbon and no CH3CH(OH)— grouping (not giving iodoform). Controlled oxidation of C gives D, a carbonyl which is still chiral. Hence, D must be an aldehyde with a chiral carbon.
The above ester has two chiral carbons and no symmetry hence, four stereoisomers.
Comprehension Type
Direction (Q. Nos. 20-22) This section contains a paragraph, describing theory, experiments, data, etc.
Three questions related to the paragraph have been given. Each question has only one correct answer among the four given options (a), (b), (c) and (d).
Passage
Aldol condensation is an important reaction in organic chemistry, particularly for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. This reaction typically involves the enolate ion derived from an aldehyde or ketone reacting with another carbonyl compound to form a β-hydroxy aldehyde or β-hydroxy ketone. This product can undergo dehydration to form an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. The reaction is usually catalyzed by a base, although acid-catalyzed versions are also known. The presence of at least one α-hydrogen in the reactant is crucial for the aldol condensation to occur. Acetaldehyde, for example, can undergo aldol condensation to yield 3-hydroxybutanal, which can then dehydrate to form crotonaldehyde.
Ques: In the aldol condensation reaction of acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO), the initial product formed before dehydration is:
- a)2-Hydroxybutanal
- b)Crotonaldehyde
- c)3-Hydroxybutanal
- d)Acetone
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Kumar answered |
The initial product formed in the aldol condensation reaction of acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) is 3-hydroxybutanal. Here’s how:
- Acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) has an α-hydrogen, which is necessary for forming the enolate ion.
- The enolate ion then reacts with another acetaldehyde molecule.
- This reaction forms 3-hydroxybutanal as the initial product
- Crotonaldehyde is formed after the dehydration of 3-hydroxybutanal.
Correct Answer: c
Consider the isomeric aldehydes with molar mass 100, if all the isomers (only structural) are treated independently with NH2OH, how many of them would give more than two stereomeric oximes?
Correct answer is '3'. Can you explain this answer?

Janhavi Kaur answered |
MW = 100 indicates that molecular formula of aldehyde is C6H12O . For obtain ing more than two oximes, aldehyde must exist stereomeric.
All the above has one chiral carbon each. Hence, when reacted with H2NOH, forms more than two oximes.
