Crap. Sorry about that. It's question 5 from May/June 2009 Paper 2, Variant 2. Please check it out and get back to me.
Yeah..........you have only one choice here. You need to work back from
U.
It has been said that
T contains one
OH group and form
U, we may easily identify the presence of an
aldeyde group. However it cannot be the conversion of a primary alcohol to an aldehyde since we can note that
T has
2 oxygen atoms.
So it is bound to contain an
OH group on one of the carbon carrying the C=C.
T is converted into
U by using
concentrated sulfuric acid which is a dehydrating agent and will cause the
elimination of water from
T top form
UType of reaction : Elimination reaction or dehydration.
b)
U contains two functional groups. You can name any one of them and identify them using the appropriate substance.
Example :
Alkene -----> It decolourises bromine.
Ketone -----> It gives an orange precipitate with 2,4 DNPH
Hope it helps
