Choose the correct answer from options given below:

• A. A-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
• B. A-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
• C. A-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)
• D. A-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

\(\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_5\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 \xrightarrow{\text{DIBAL-H, H}_2\text{O}} \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_5\text{CHO}\)

\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COC}_6\text{H}_5 \xrightarrow{\text{Zn(Hg) \& conc. HCl}} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\)

\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5 \xrightarrow{\text{CH}_3\text{MgBr, H}_2\text{O}} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH(OH)CH}_3\)

\(\text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_2\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 \xrightarrow{\text{NaBH}_4, \text{H}^+} \text{CH}_3\text{CH(OH)CH}_2\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5\)

Answer 2

To solve this problem, we need to match the reactions in List I with the appropriate reagents in List II. Let's analyze each reaction:

1. Reaction A: \(\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_5\text{-O-C(=O)CH}_2\rightarrow \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_5\text{CHO}\)
   • This is a reduction of an ester to an aldehyde, which is commonly done using DIBAL-H (Diisobutylaluminum hydride), followed by water. Therefore, Reaction A matches with (IV) DIBAL-H, H₂O.
2. Reaction B: \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCH}_2\rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\)
   • This is a reduction of a ketone to a hydrocarbon, achievable by Clemmensen reduction using zinc amalgam and hydrochloric acid. Thus, Reaction B matches with (II) Zn(Hg) and conc. HCl.
3. Reaction C: \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CHO}\rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH(OH)CH}_3\)
   • This is an aldehyde to alcohol conversion, involving the addition of a Grignard reagent or reduction. The presence of this kind of reduction suggests NaBH₄, so Reaction C matches with (III) NaBH₄, H⁺.
4. Reaction D: \(\text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_2\text{COOCH}_2\rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH(OH)CH(CH}_3\text{)COOC}_2\text{H}_5\)
   • This is akin to a Grignard reaction where CH₃MgBr adds to the carbonyl group, but without subsequent hydrolysis of an ester. Hence, it is likely wrong. Instead, this points more correctly to industrial preparations. However, given our choices, it fits poorly, indicating an error mismatch—or analytical extension beyond our options.

Thus, by matching our understanding with our provided options, the correct answer should be:

A - (III), B - (IV), C - (I), D - (II)
