Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

A

Explanation

(i) X forms 2, 4-DNP derivatives, it shows that it is an aromatic compound substituted at 2-position.
(ii) It reduces Tollen’s reagent, it shows that it has an aldehyde group.
(iii) It undergoes Cannizaro reaction, that also shows the presence of an aldehyde having no `alpha` -hydrogen.
(iv) On vigorous oxidation, it produces 1, 2- benzendicarboxylic acid. It shows that groups are present at 1, 2 position on benzene ring.
(i) The correct structure of compound X is
