An aromatic compound, A `[C_(5)H_(10)O]` undergoes Cannizzaro reaction, forms `2,4-DNP` derivative reduces Tollen's reagent and produces 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid on vigorous oxidation. The compound A would be

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The compound A undergoes Cannizzaro reaction shows that it may be an aldehydic compound with no `alpha`-H-atom. The formation of `2,4`-DNP suggests the presence of `C = O` group and reduction of Tollen's reagent confirms aldehydic group in the compound. The production of `1,-`-benzene dicarboxylic acid on vigrous oxidation of A shows that aldehydic and ethyl group present at `1-2`-benzene dicarboxylic acid on vigrous oxidation of A shows that aldehydic and ethyl group present at `1,2`-position of benzene ring. Thus, the compound A is
