Question

Oxidize the mixture with chromic acid Since trip phenyl methanol is a tertiary alcohol, It cannot oxidize further. Place both compounds in a separator funnel Since trip phenyl methanol has three aromatic rings, it will separate as the bottom layer Treat the mixture with lithium aluminum hydride Benzoic acid will reduce to benzyl alcohol which wilt separate as a lower layer. Arrange the following in order of decreasing percentage of hydrate formed at equilibrium, (IE. greatest amount of hydrate to least amount) B > C > D > A B > D > C > A A > C > B > D D > B > C > A None of these will form a hydrate

Explanation / Answer

option 4 is the right answer

D > B > C > A

for all these aldehyde electronic factor dominates.

therefore D is the most reactive due to presence of two electronegative chlorine atom
