A dihalo alkane P, having formula `C_(3)H_(6)Cl_(2),` on hydrolysis gives a compound, that can reduce Tollen's reagent. The compound P is

A

1,2-Dichlorpropane

B

2,2-Dichloropropane

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)CH_(3)-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-Clunderset(-H_(2)O)overset(Aq.KOH)(rarr)underset("Propionaldehyde")(CH_(3)CH_(2)-overset(H)overset(|)(C)=O)underset("Reagent")overset("Tollen's")(rarr)`Silver mirror `Agdarr`
Tollen's reagent can reduce only aldehydes.While only germinal dihalides can produce aldehydes on hydrolysis.
