Question

If the general formula for aldehyde is written as Cn H2n+1CHO, the value of n for isobutyraldehyde is (A) 1 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Total number of C atoms in isobutyraidehyde (CH3)2CHCHO is four, ∴ Value of n should be 3 in CnH2n+1 CHO. This reaction involves acylation. CH3COCH3 is not an acetylating agent.

Total number of $C$ atoms in isobutyraidehyde $(C H_{3})_{2} C H C H O$ is four,
$∴$ Value of n should be $3$ in $C_{n} H_{2 n + 1} C H O$ .
This reaction involves acylation. $C H_{3} COC H_{3}$ is not an acetylating agent.
