Question

An organic compound with molecular formula C$_6$H$_6$O gives an orange-red precipitate with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. It gives negative Tollens' test. The product of it with hydroxylamine is

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

When identifying organic compounds, remember the key tests like Tollens' and reactions with hydrazines or hydroxylamines for functional group identification.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The organic compound that gives a positive Tollens' test and reacts with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine suggests the presence of an aldehyde. The product formed with hydroxylamine would be an imine derivative, corresponding to the reaction of the aldehyde with hydroxylamine. Hence, the correct product is \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NOH}\), ethylhydroxylamine.
