Q. Compound $A, C_8H_{10}O$, is found to react with $NaOI$ (produced by reacting $Y$ with $NaOH$) and yields a yellow precipitate with characteristic smell.
$A$ and $Y$ are respectively

NEETNEET 2018Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Option $(3)$ is secondary alcohol which on oxidation gives phenylmethyl ketone (Acetophenone). This on reaction with $I_{2}$ and $NaOH$ form iodoform and sodium benzoate.

$2 NaOH + I _{2} \rightarrow NaOl + Nal + H _{2} O$
