Q. The final product $(Y)$ in the following sequence of chemical reaction is
$CH_{3}OH \xrightarrow[300\circ C]{Cu}X\xrightarrow{NaOH}Y+CH_{3}OH$

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$CH_{3}OH \xrightarrow[300^\circ C]{Cu} \underset{\text{(X)}}{HCHO}\xrightarrow{NaOH}\underset{\text{(Y)}}{HCOONa}+CH_{3}OH$
