An organic compound containing C, H and ...

An organic compound containing `C, H` and O gives red colouration with sodium nitroprusside solution but does not reeduce Tollen's reagent and yields chloroform on treating with NaOH and `Cl_(2)`.The compound is

A

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`

B

`CH_(3)underset(OH)underset(|)CHCH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)COCH_(3)`

D

`(CH_(3))_(3)CH-CHO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)COCH_(3)` gives red colour with sodium nitroprusside solution but does not reduce Tollen's reagent. Acetone ylelds chloroform with `NaOH//Cl_(2)`.
`underset("Acetone")(CH_(3)COCH_(3))+Cl_(2)rarrCl_(3)C-COCH_(3)overset(NaOH)rarrunderset("Chloroform")(CHCl_(3))`
