Q. In the reaction sequence:
$CaC_2 \xrightarrow{H_2O} A \xrightarrow[HgSO_4]{\text{dil} HgSO_4} B \xrightarrow{H_2/Ni} C$,
the term ‘C’ is

AIIMSAIIMS 1996Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Reaction sequence is;

$CaC_2 \underset{\underset{\text{Acetylene}}{(A)}}{\xrightarrow[{2 CaO}]{H_2O}} C_2H_2 \xrightarrow[{HgSO_4}]{dil.H_2SO_4}\underset{\underset{\text{Acetaldehyde}}{(B)}}{CH_3-CHO} \xrightarrow{H/Ni} \underset{\text{Ethanol (C)}}{CH_3CH_2OH}$
