MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
An organic compound 'X' having molecular formula C5H10O yields phenylhydrazone and gives negative response to the iodoform test and Tollens' test. It produces n-pentane on reduction. 'X' could be
A
3-pentanone
B
n-amyl alcohol
C
pentanal
D
2-pentanone
Explanation
As the compound X yields phenyl hydrazone
and gives negative response to the iodoform test
and Tollen’s test so it must contain a C = O group
but neither a methyl ketone nor in aldehyde.
Thus, the structure of X will be
