Question

In the following reactions, P, Q, R and S are the major products.

The correct statement about P, Q, R and S is

(A) P is a primary alcohol with four carbons.

(B) Q undergoes Kolbe’s electrolysis to give an eight-carbon product.

(C) R has six carbons and it undergoes Cannizzaro reaction.

(D) S is a primary amine with six carbons.

Answer 1

Correct option is (B) Q undergoes Kolbe’s electrolysis to give an eight-carbon product.

Kolbe electrolysis:

8 carbon containing product

It undergoes aldol reaction not Cannizzaro.

Since only Q fulfilled all the given conditions.
