MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question
An organic compound is taken in two different containers A and B. Sample in A is treated with / Ni forming new compound P. Sample in B is treated with and hydrolyzed further forming new compound Q Identify P and Q
Answer: (D)
Solution
Catalytic hydrogenation () reduces both the C=C double bond and the carbonyl group, so P = (pentan-1-ol). (followed by hydrolysis) is a source of hydride that reduces the polar C=O group to a
