B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanantion of the asseriton.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion if false but reason is ture.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct Reason: Both methanol and ethanol are `1^(@)` alcohol and hence cannot be distinhuished by Lucas reagnet.

    Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: The objects which are non-superimposable on their mirror image (like a pair of hands) are said to be chiral and this property is known as chirality. Chiral molecules are optically active, while the objects, which are, superimposable on their mirror images are called achiral. These molecules are optically inactive. The above test of molecular chirality can be applied to organic molecules by constructing models and its mirror images or by drawing three dimensional structures and attempting to superimpose them in our minds. There are other aids, however, that can assist us in recognising chiral molecules. One such aid is the presence of a single asymmetric carbon atom. In these questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given . Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. Assertion (A): A racemic mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions will have zero optical rotation. Reason (R): This is because the rotation due to one isomer will be cancelled by the rotation due to the other isomer.

    Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Reduction of carboxylic acids and their derivatives plays an important role in organic synthesis, in both laboratory and industrial processes. Traditionally, the reduction is performed using stochiometric amounts of hydride reagents, generating stochiometric amounts of waste. A much more attractive, atom-economical approach is a catalytic reaction using H_2 , however, hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives under mild conditions is a very challenging task, with amides presenting the highest challenge among all classes of carbonyl compounds. Very few examples of the important hydrogenation of amides to amines, in which the C-O bond is cleaved with the liberation of water (Scheme 1), were reported. C-O cleavage of amides can also be affected with silanes as reducing agents. We have now prepared the new, dearomatized, bipyridine-based pincer complex 3, catalyst 3(Here refered as Cat. 3). Remarkably, it efficiently catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of amides to form amines and alcohols (eq 1). The reaction proceeds under mild pressure and neutral conditions, with no additives being required. Since the reaction proceeds well under anhydrous conditions, hydrolytic cleavage of the amide is not involved in this process. (Balaraman, E., Gnanaprakasam, B., Shimon, L. J., & Milstein, D. (2010). Direct hydrogenation of amides to alcohols and amines under mild conditions. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 132(47), 16756-16758.) In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: N-methyl ethanamide on reaction with catalyst 3 will yield ethanol and methanamine. Reason: Use of Catalyst 3 brings about cleavage of C-N bond of amides
