Primary alcohol is changed into an alkanal by the action of

  1. Sarett-collin's reagent

  2. Schweitzer reagent

  3. Milon reagent

  4. Hinsbergs reagent

  5. Tildon reagent


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This option is correct because the complex of chromic anhydride and pyridine is a very good oxidising agent for the conversion of primary alcohol into aldehydes.

Catechol is prepared by

  1. Duff reaction

  2. Kolbe reaction

  3. Riemer-Tiemann reaction

  4. Dakin reaction

  5. Cannizzaro reaction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This option is correct because oxidation of salicylaldehyde with alkaline hydrogenperoxide forms catechol.

Benedict's solution is prepared by

  1. tri-butyl citrate

  2. ferric ammonium citrate

  3. sodium citrate

  4. potassium sodium tartrate

  5. succinic acid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Which of the following compounds does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction?

  1. Chlorobenzene

  2. Toluene

  3. Ethylbenzene

  4. Anisole

  5. Nitrobenzene


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This option is correct because nitrobenzene is formed by the nitration of benzene in the presence of conc. nitric acid and conc. sulphuric acid to form nitrobenzene. It does not react in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride. Hence, it does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.
