Question

An organic compound with molecular formula c9h10o

Answer 1

Answer: An organic compound with molecular formula C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative, reduces Tollens reagent. An organic compound with molecular formula C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative, reduces Tollens reagent and undergoes Cannizzaro's reaction. On vigorous oxidation it gives 1,2.benzene dicarboxylic acid.

Answer 2

$\huge\textcolor{orange}{\texttt{Answer :-}}$

The given compound forms 2,4-DNP derivative. Therefore, it is an aldehyde or ketone. Since it reduces Tollen's reagent, it must be an aldehyde. The compound undergoes Cannizzaro's reaction, so it does not contain $\alpha-$hydrogen.

On vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzendicarboxylic acid, it means that it must be containing an alkyl group at 2-position with respect to —CHO group on the benzene ring.
