Question

Regarding the organic compounds that have the carbonyl group and their reactions, it is correct to say: a. the reaction of an aldehyde with collin's reactant produces a primary alcohol. b. the reaction of a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride allows the formation of an alkyl chloride. c. the acid hydrolysis of a nitrile group in a molecule gives the formation of an aldehyde. d. methyl ketones give a positive haloform test.

1) the reaction of an aldehyde with collin's reactant produces a primary alcohol.
2) the reaction of a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride allows the formation of an alkyl chloride.
3) the acid hydrolysis of a nitrile group in a molecule gives the formation of an aldehyde.
4) methyl ketones give a positive haloform test.

Answer 1

Statements a and b are correct: The reaction of an aldehyde with Collins' reagent produces a primary alcohol. The reaction of a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride allows the formation of an alkyl chloride.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The reaction of an aldehyde with Collins' reagent produces a primary alcohol.

B. The reaction of a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride allows the formation of an alkyl chloride.

C. The acid hydrolysis of a nitrile group in a molecule gives the formation of an aldehyde.

D. Methyl ketones give a positive haloform test.

Therefore, the correct statements are:

a. The reaction of an aldehyde with Collins' reagent produces a primary alcohol.

b. The reaction of a carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride allows the formation of an alkyl chloride.
