Question

`Ph-underset((A))underset(OH)underset(|)CH-overset(O)overset(||)C-Hunderset(H_(2)O)overset(HO^(ɵ))rarr` (A) and (B) are isomer and isomerization effectively carried out by treace of base (B). Identify (B).
A. `Ph-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)C-O-H`
B. `Ph-overset(O)overset(||)C-O-CH_(3)`
C. `Ph-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)-OH`
D. `H-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)-O-Ph`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - c
Enal from of (A) is `Ph-underset(OH)underset(|)C=CH-OHoverset("Tautomerises")hArrPh-underset(O)underset(||)C-CH_(2)-OH`
