Question

Calcium butanoate on heating followed by treatment with 1, 2-ethanediol in the presence of catalytic amount of an acid, produces a major product which is (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Calcium butanoate on heating gives heptan-4-one, which on further reaction with 1, 2-ethanediol in presence of catalytic amount of an acid produces cyclic ketal [product given in option (a)] as a major product. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/4217f0e074ab93f7901c5fc77512c11c-.png" />
