A compound (A) has a molecular formula `C_(2)Cl_(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

chloral

B

chloroform

C

methyl chloride

D

monochloro acetic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`H-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)-Cl :` Chloral
