c) Cannizzaro reaction
d) Wolf-Kiishner reduction
SECTION B
What happens when propanone is treated with methyl magnesium iodide and 2
6
then hydrolysed?
7 Write structures of compounds A and B in the following reaction : 2
When Cyclohexanol reacts with CrO3 to give A which further reacts with NH2-NH-
CONH2 to give B?
8 Write chemical equations for the following reactions: 2
i) Acetophenone is treated with Zn(Hg)/Conc. HCl
