Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The carboxylic acid cannot be prepared by the malonic ester synthesis is to be explained.

Concept introduction: The α hydrogen attached to the diester is acidic in nature and on heating diester followed by hydrolysis gives β- diacid which loses CO2 to give carboxylic acid. The formed acid has components of both alkyl halide and malonic ester.

Select the carbonyl compound which can form only a single enol via tautomerization. A. B. H C. D.
When trichloroacetaldehyde is dissolved in water, almost all of it is converted to the hydrate. Chloral hydrate, the product of the reaction, is a sedative that can be lethal. A cocktail laced with it is known—in detective novels,at least—as a “Mickey Finn.” Explain why an aqueous solution of trichloroacetaldehyde is almost all hydrate.
