Assertion : Hydroxyketones are not directly used in Grignard reaction.
Reason : Grignard reagents react with hydroxyl group.

What is the final product obtained by the reduction of acetaldehyde with sodium and alcohol?

Which one of the following is the major product of the given reaction?

Reaction of iso-propylbenzene with $O_2$ followed by treatment with $H_3O^{+}$ forms phenol and a by-product $P$. Reaction of $P$ with $3$ equivalents of $Cl_2$ gives compound $Q$. Treatment of $Q$ with $Ca(OH)_2$ produces compound $R$ and calcium salt $S$. The correct statement(s) regarding $P, Q, R$ and $S$ is(are):
$(A)$ Reaction of $P$ with $R$ in the presence of $KOH$ gives chloritone.
$(B)$ Reaction of $R$ with $O_2$ in the presence of light gives phosgene gas.
$(C)$ $Q$ reacts with aqueous $NaOH$ to produce $Cl_3CCH_2OH$ and $Cl_3CCOONa$.
$(D)$ $S$ on heating gives $P$.

Compound $(A)$,$C_6H_{12}O_3$,when treated with $I_2$ in aqueous sodium hydroxide gives a yellow precipitate. When $(A)$ is treated with Tollens' reagent,no reaction occurs. When $(A)$ is hydrolysed and then treated with Tollens' reagent,a silver mirror is formed in the test tube. Compound $(A)$ will be

The product formed in the following reaction is:
$CHO-CH(OH)-CH_2OH \xrightarrow{2HIO_4} ?$
