The total number of structural products formed in the following reaction sequence is
The total number of structural products formed in the following reaction sequence is CH 3 COCl   →…
Solution
is less nucleophilic than carbon. It can convert the acetic chloride into the acetone. The compound P is acetone. After that, acetone and acetaldehyde both have the alpha hydrogen. So, they give the cross-aldol and self aldol condensation reaction with sodium hydroxide and heat. The alkene can show the geometrical isomerism if there are different groups along the double bond.
Reaction :-
Hence, the total number of products formed in the given reaction sequence is .
