An aldehyde (A) `(C_(11)H_(8)O)`, which does not undergo self aldol condensation, gives benzaldehyde and 2 mol of (B) on ozonolysis. Compound (B) on oxidation with silver ion gives oxalic acid. Identify the compounds (A) and (B).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) As the compound 'A' `(C_(11)H_(8)O)` gives benzaldehyde as one of the products on ozonolysis, it must have a benzene nucleus or phenyl group `(C_(6)H_(5))`. The formula of the side chain is `(C_(11)H_(8)O - C_(6)H_(5)) = C_(5)H_(3)O`
(ii) Since the compound 'A' is an aldehyde therefore, the side chain may be written as `C_(4)H_(2)CHO`. Thus, the compound 'A' may be expressed as : `C_(6)H_(5)(C_(4)H_(2)CHO)`
(iii) As one mole of 'A' on ozonolysis gives two moles of 'B'. This mean that the size chain must have two unsaturated bonds and one of them must be a triple bond.
(iv) As the compound 'A' does not undergo Aldol condensation, there should no `alpha`-hydrogen atom. Keeping in view the above observations, the formula of the compound 'A' is `C_(6)H_(5)-CH=CH-C-=C-CHO`. The sequence of the reactions involved is as follows :
