ICSEENICH12029007

An organic compound A with molecular formula C7H8 on oxidation by chromylchloride in the presence of CCl4 gives a compound B which gives positive tollen’s test. The compound B on treatment with NaOH followed by acid hydrolysis gives two products C and D. C on oxidation gives B which on further oxidation gives D. The compound D on distillation with soda lime gives a hydrocarbon E. Below 60oC, concentrated nitric acid  reacts with E in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid forming a compound F. Identify the compounds A, B, C, D, E and F.

Solution

Identify the compounds from (A) to (F):
A = Toluene             (or) C6H5CH3
B = Benzaldehyde     (or) C6H5CHO
C = Benzyl Alcohol   (or) C6H5CH2OH
D = Benzoic Acid     (or) C6H5COOH
E = Benzene           (or) C6H6

F = Nitrobenzene     (or) C6H5NO2
