Q2. Give structure of i.) cyanohydrin ii.) hemiacetal iii) ethylene glycol ketal
iv.) phenylhydrazone 2
Q.3 give equations of WOLFF- KISHNER and CLEMMENSEN reduction reaction 2
Q.4 using acetone as substrate give equation of addition reaction when reagent is:
A. phenylhydrazine B. hydroxylamine 3
Q.5 A compound ‘X’ ( C2H4O) on oxidation gives ‘Y’ ( C2H4O2). The compound X
undergoes haloform reaction. Write the structure of X and Y. name the product
when X is treated with NaOH. 3

Q.7 explain cannizzaro reaction using benzaldehyde. 3

Q.8 An unknown aldehyde ‘A’ on reacting with alkali gives beta-hydroxyaldehyde

which losses water to form an unsaturated aldehyde but -2-enal. Another aldehyde B
undergoes disproportionation reaction in the presence of con. Alkali to form
products C and D. the compound C is an aryl alcohol with formula C7H8O.
1. identify A and B
2. write the sequence of reaction involved
3. name the products when B reacts with zinc amalgam and HCl. 5
