Answer to Problem 3.3P
The structure of an aldehyde with molecular formula
Explanation of Solution
The given molecular formula is
Where,
• C is the number of carbon atoms.
• H is the number of hydrogen atoms.
Substitute the values of number of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms in the above formula to calculate the number of double bond in compound
Therefore, the given compound has one double bond with an aldehydic functional group. Hence, the structure an aldehyde with molecular formula

When 'X' is treated with a deuterated acid (D2O), a single deuterium atom replaces a hydrogen atom, forming compound 'Y' (C5H7DO2). 'X' does not react with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) but does react with both Tollens' reagent and Benedict's solution, forming a silver mirror and a red precipitate, respectively. Furthermore, 'X' undergoes catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, consuming one mole of hydrogen to form a compound 'Z' (C5H10O2).
