(b) Distinguish between :
(i) C6H5COCH3 and C6H5CHO,
(ii) CH3COOH and HCOOH.
(c) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their boiling points :

OR
(a) Write the chemical reaction involved in WolffKishner reduction.
(b) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction :
C6H5COCH3,CH3CHO,CH3COCH3
(c) Why carboxylic acid does not give reactions of carbonyl group ?
(d) Write the product in the following reaction.
CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CN
1. (iBu)2AlH
2. H2O
?

(e) A and B are two functional isomers of compound C3H6O. On heating with NaOH and I2 isomer B forms yellow precipitate of iodoform whereas isomer A does not form any precipitate. Write the formulae of A and B.
Solution:  
(a) (i) CH3COCI
H2,PdBaSO4
CH3CHO
[A] Acetaldehyde
H2NOH
CH3CH=NOH
[B] Acetaldoxime

(ii) CH3MgBr
1.CO2
2H3O+
CH3COOH
PCl5
CH3
COCI
+HCl
+POCl3

(b) (i) C6H5CHO being an aldehyde reduces Tollens' reagent to shining silver mirror whereas C6H5COCH3 being a ketone does not.
(ii) HCOOH gives silver mirror test with Tollens' reagent whereas ethanoic acid does not.
HCOOH+2[Ag(NH3)2]++2OH 2Ag+2H2O+CO2+4NH3
CH3COOH
Tollens
reagent
No silver mirror

OR(a)
(b) C6H5COCH3<CH3COCH3 <CH3CHO
(c) Carboxylicacids do not give reactions of carbonyl groups as it enters into resonance with lone pair of - COOH groups thereby making the carbon atoms less electrophilic.
