A compound (A) has a molecular formula `C_(2)CI_(3)OH`. It reduces Fehling's solution and on oxidation gives a monocarboxylilc acid (B). It can be obtained by the action of chlorine on ethyl alcohol, (A) is:

A

Methyl chloride

B

Monochloroacetic acid

C

Chloral

D

Chloroform

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A positive Fehling's solution test suggest the presence of `(-CHO)` group. (A) would be `(C_(2)CI_(3)OH-CHO)=CI_(3)C-CHO` (chloral)
`CH_(3)-CH_(2)OH overset(CI_(2)rarr CI_(3)Cunderset(Chloral)underset((A))-CHO overset([O])rarr CI_(3)Cunderset((B))-COOH`
