A. CH3-CHO, HCHO, HCOOH B. CH3-CHO, HCOOH C. CH3-CHO, OHC-CHO D. CH3-COOH, HCOOH Answer: D

Step by step solution

01

Option A: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{HCHO}, \mathrm{HCOOH}\)

This option suggests the formation of acetaldehyde (\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}\)), formaldehyde (\(\mathrm{HCHO}\)), and formic acid (\(\mathrm{HCOOH}\)). It seems unlikely that a reaction would lead to the production of both aldehydes and a carboxylic acid, as they have very different properties and reactivity.
02

Option B: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{HCOOH}\)

This option suggests the formation of acetaldehyde (\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}\)) and formic acid (\(\mathrm{HCOOH}\)). Although initially it appears unlikely due to the difference in properties, certain oxidation reactions could produce this mixture, for instance, reducing a primary alcohol.
03

Option C: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{OHC}-\mathrm{CHO}\)

This option suggests the formation of acetaldehyde (\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}\)) and glyoxal (\(\mathrm{OHC}-\mathrm{CHO}\)). The simultaneous formation of two different aldehydes could be more plausible, although we cannot deduce which specific reaction type would lead to this outcome without more information.
04

Option D: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{COOH}, \mathrm{HCOOH}\)

This option suggests the formation of acetic acid (\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{COOH}\)) and formic acid (\(\mathrm{HCOOH}\)). Both of these products are carboxylic acids, which could plausibly arise from the controlled oxidation of primary alcohols. Considering the limited information provided and our reasoning for each option, we can only conclude that the most plausible answer is Option D, as it is the only one consisting of products within the same class of organic compounds (carboxylic acids). However, without more information about the actual reaction, we cannot be certain about the correct answer.

Reactions of Grignard reagents Organic compounds which contain atleast one carbon-metal bond are called organometallic compounds. Grignard reagents are very reactive organometallic compounds which are of great synthetic utility. They are used for the synthesis of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, etc. They are however decomposed by compounds which have active hydrogen.

Directions: This section contains multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct. The compound that gives a tertiary alcohol on reaction with \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{MgI}\) is
