Question:
What is the IUPAC name of the product Y in the given reaction sequence?
What is the IUPAC name of the product Y in the given reaction sequence?
Show Hint
The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups in the product suggests that this is a polyhydroxy carboxylic acid formed from an aldehyde.
Updated On: Mar 17, 2025
- 2,3,4,5,6,7 - hexahydroxyheptanoic acid
- 2,3,4,5,6,7 - pentahydroxyhexanoic acid
- 3,4,5,6 - trihydroxyheptanoic acid
3,4,5 - trihydroxy hexanoic acid
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The reaction sequence starts with an aldehyde group, which reacts with cyanide to form a cyanohydrin intermediate. Upon hydrolysis, the cyano group is converted into a carboxyl group, resulting in hexahydroxyheptanoic acid as the product Y.
