For the following reaction sequence, choose the correct option [figure]

  1. Both P and Q are carbonyl compounds
  2. If P is the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid, Q is a primary alcohol
  3. P and Q are aromatic compounds
  4. If P gives a carboxylic acid on acidification, Q gives a poisonous gas on exposure to air and light

Answer

(4) If P gives a carboxylic acid on acidification, Q gives a poisonous gas on exposure to air and light

Solution

1. Benzene undergoes Friedel-Crafts acylation with CH3COCl / AlCl3 to give acetophenone (C6H5COCH3).

2. Haloform reaction of acetophenone with NaOCl gives sodium benzoate (P, C6H5COONa) and chloroform (Q, CHCl3).

3. On acidification, P yields benzoic acid (a carboxylic acid).

4. Chloroform (Q) is slowly oxidised by air in the presence of light to form phosgene (COCl2), an extremely poisonous gas:

2CHCl3 + O2 h 2COCl2 + 2HCl. Answer: (4)
