Question

Match List I with List II.

List I (Molecule)		List II (Number and types of bond/s between two carbon atoms)
A.	ethane	I.	one σ-bond and two π-bonds
B.	ethene	II.	two π-bonds
C.	carbon molecule, C₂	III.	one σ-bonds
D.	ethyne	IV.	one σ-bond and one π-bond

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer 1

The provided multi-step reaction sequence transforms a starting compound into final product A via sequential chemical reactions. The process is detailed below:

Oxidation Step: Initially, the alkene undergoes hydration with \(H_2O\) in acidic conditions, yielding an alcohol.

Subsequently, the alcohol is oxidized by \(CrO_3\), a chromium-based oxidizing agent, to produce a ketone.

Wolff-Kishner Reduction: In the second step, the ketone reacts with hydrazine (\(N_2H_4\)) and potassium hydroxide (\(KOH\)) upon heating. This Wolff-Kishner reduction converts the ketone into a hydrocarbon by completely removing the carbonyl group.

The culmination of these reactions yields final product A, an alkane derived from the initial cyclohexene derivative following hydration, oxidation, and reduction.

Following these procedures results in the correct product, corresponding to option A.

The final product A formed in the following multistep reaction sequence is

The Correct Option is A
