The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the characteristics of the organic compound based on the information provided. The compound does not react with Tollen's reagent but undergoes Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Tollen's Reagent**: - Tollen's reagent is used to test for aldehydes. Aldehydes reduce Tollen's reagent, resulting in a silver mirror formation. - If a compound does not react with Tollen's reagent, it suggests that the compound is not an aldehyde. 2. **Understanding Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation**: - Baeyer-Villiger oxidation is a reaction that typically involves the oxidation of ketones to esters using peracids. - This reaction is characteristic of ketones, which can undergo this transformation. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: A terminal alkyne. Terminal alkynes can react with Tollen's reagent, so this cannot be the answer. - **Option B**: An aldehyde. Since aldehydes react with Tollen's reagent, this cannot be the answer. - **Option C**: Another aldehyde. Again, since aldehydes react with Tollen's reagent, this cannot be the answer. - **Option D**: A ketone. Ketones do not react with Tollen's reagent and can undergo Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the compound does not react with Tollen's reagent (indicating it is not an aldehyde) and can undergo Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (indicating it is likely a ketone), the correct answer is **Option D**, which is a ketone. ### Final Answer: The compound is a ketone (Option D). ---
