Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of acetaldehyde $(CH_3CHO)$ with $NaCN/HCl$ forms acetaldehyde cyanohydrin.Subsequent hydrolysis of the cyano group in the presence of $H_2O/H^{\oplus}/\Delta$ yields compound $(A)$,which is $2-hydroxy$ propanoic acid $(CH_3CH(OH)COOH)$.The hydroxyl group in $(A)$ is then oxidized to a carbonyl group using Fenton reagent $(Fe^{2+}/H_2O_2)$ to obtain compound $(B)$,which is Pyruvic acid $(CH_3COCOOH)$.

In the given reaction :
$CH_3CHO$ $\xrightarrow[(i) \ NaCN/HCl]{(ii) \ H_2O/H^{\oplus}/\Delta} (A)$ $\xrightarrow[reagent]{Fenton} (B)$
$(B)$ will be :
