A compound with molecular formula C(6)H(...

A compound with molecular formula `C_(6)H_(10)O_(4)` on acylation with acetic anhydride gives a compound with molecular formula `C_(12)H_(18)O_(8)`. How many hydroxyl groups are present in the compound?

A

One

B

Two

C

Three

D

Four

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`R-OHrarrR-OCOOH_(3)`
Acylation of one hydroxyl group results in increament of `-COCH_(2)` (or `C_(2)H_(2)O`). In the question there is n increament of `(C_(6)H_(8)O_(4))`, hence there should be present four-OH groups.
