Find the compounds P and Q in the following reactions:
Find the compounds P and Q in the following reactions:
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
P to Q (Dehydration): The reaction shows compound P treated with H2SO4 and heat (Δ). This is a dehydration reaction, which typically converts an alcohol to an alkene by removing a molecule of water (H2O). Therefore, P is cyclohexanol.
Q to Dialdehyde (Ozonolysis): Compound Q is then treated with ozone (O3) followed by zinc and water (Zn/H2O). This is ozonolysis, a reaction that cleaves alkenes (double bonds) to form carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). The Zn/H2O is a reducing workup, which prevents the formation of carboxylic acids.
If Q is a cyclohexene, then ozone will add to the double bond, creating two CHO groups at either end of the break point.
Therefore, Q is cyclohexene.
The answer is (A), where P is cyclohexanol and Q is cyclohexene.

Concepts Used:
Aromatic hydrocarbon
Aromatic hydrocarbons, sometimes known as arenes, are aromatic organic molecules made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen. In aromatic compounds a benzene ring which is named after the simple aromatic chemical benzene, or a phenyl group when part of a larger structure, is the configuration of six carbon atoms.

Reactions of Aromatic Hydrocarbons:
1. Aromatic Substitution Reactions
This reaction involves the replacement of one substituent on the ring of an aromatic hydrocarbon, commonly a hydrogen atom, by a different substituent group.
The common types of aromatic substitution reactions are:
- Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Radical nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
2. Coupling Reactions
In these types of reactions, the coupling of two fragments that have a radical nature is achieved with the help of a metal catalyst
