Question

Identify the reagents in the following transformations

• A. $ Alc. KOH $ and $ H_{2}O, HgSO_{4}, H_{2}SO_{4} $
• B. $ Alc. KOH $ and $ KMnO_{4} /H^{+} $
• C. $ NaNH_{2} $ and $ H_{2}O, HgSO_{4}, H_{2}SO_{4} $
• D. $ NaNH_{2} $ and $ KMnO_{4} /H^{+} $

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Thus, $A = NaNH_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$
$B=HgSO_{4}, H_{2}SO_{4}$
Note $A$ cannot be alcohol $KOH$ and $H_{2}O$ as it stops the reaction at alkene level
