Preface
In order to understand a subject, small concept plays a significant role. Theory is only beneficial when it has been successfully applicable to solve problems. To clear each and every concept, different types of problems are enumerated herein. So, there remain no doubts or misconcep-tion rather a strong hold over the subject is developed. Following the famous saying, ‘practice makes a man perfect,’ we are presenting this problem practice book to clear the conceptual basics of the subject where a systematic arrangement of practicing problem is done. This book includes all level of problems in organic chemistry that every JEE aspirant needed. Lastly, not to say more, but the book itself signifies its name. Hoping this book will help the students to achieve their targets. Readers may send their worthful suggestions at: [email protected].

Passage 2
In a covalent single bond between unlike atoms, the electron pair forming the σ bond is never shared absolutely equally between the two atoms; it tends to be attracted a little more towards the more electronegative atom of the two.This is generally represented as
––C––Cl ––C––Clδ+ δ–
If the carbon atom bonded to chlorine is itself attached to further carbon atoms, the effect can be transmitted further as
C–C–C––C––Cl4 3 2 1
The effect of Cl on C2 is less than the effect of Cl on C1; however, the transmission quickly dies away in a saturated chain, usually being too small to be noticeable beyond C2. These influences on the electron distribution in σ bonds are known as inductive effects.
Electron releasing groups w.r.t. the hydrogen atom are known to have +I effect and electron withdrawing groups are known to have –I effect. Electron donating group increases the stability of carbocation and withdrawing group increases the stability of carbanion.

When (C–H) sigma electrons are in conjugation with pi bond, this conjugation is known as σ (C–H) π conjugation, excessive conjugation or hyperconjugation.
(i) Compound should have at least one sp2-hybrid carbon of either alkene, alkyl carbocation or alkyl free radical.
(ii) α-carbon with respect to sp2 hybrid carbon should have at least one hydrogen. (iii) Resonating structures due to hyperconjugation may be written involving “no

In the above resonating structures there is no covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen, and from this point of view, hyperconjugation may be regarded as “no bond resonance”. Actually the hydrogen atom is not free from the carbon. These resonating structures only suggest that: (a) there is some ionic character between C–H bond and (b) carbon–carbon double bond acquires some single bond character.We can explain the stability of alkene, carbocation and carbon free radical on the basis of hyperconjugation.
Stability of alkene ∝ number of α–H ∝ 1

Passage 5
For a compound to be classified as aromatic, it must fulfill both of the following criteria. (i) It must have an uninterrupted cyclic cloud of π electrons above and below the
plane of the molecule (often called a π cloud). For the π cloud to be cyclic, the molecule must be cyclic. For the π cloud to be uninterrupted, every atom in the ring must have a p orbital. For the π cloud to form, each p orbital must be able to overlap with the p orbitals
on either side of it. Therefore, the molecule must be planar. (ii) The π cloud must contain an odd number of pairs of π electrons. Benzene is an aromatic compound because it is cyclic and planar, every carbon in
the ring has a p orbital and the π cloud contains three pairs of π electrons. The german chemist Erich Huckel was the first to recognise that an aromatic
compound must have an odd number of pairs of π electrons. He described this requirement by what has come to be known as Huckel’s rule, or the 4n + 2 rule. The rule states that for a planar, cyclic compound to be aromatic, its uninterrupted π cloud must contain (4n + 2) π electrons, where n is any whole number. Accord-ing to Huckel’s rule, then an aromatic compound must have 2 (n = 0), 6(n = 1), 10 (n = 2), 14 (n = 3), 18 (n = 4), etc. π electrons. Because there are two electrons in a pair, Huckel’s rule requires that an aromatic compound must have 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. pairs of π electron. Thus, Huckel’s rule is just a mathematical way of saying that an aromatic compound must have an odd number of pairs of π electrons. For an anti-aromatic system a planar, cyclic compound must contain (4n) π electrons.

With few exceptions, enantiomers cannot be separated through physical means. When in racemic mixtures, they have the same physical properties. Enantiomers have similar chem-ical properties as well. The only chemical difference between a pair of enantiomers occurs in reactions with other chiral compounds. Thus resolution of a racemic mixture typically takes place through a reaction with another optically active reagent. Since living organ-isms usually produce only one of two possible enantiomers, many optically active rea-gents can be obtained from natural sources. For instance, (S)-(+)-lactic acid can be obtained from animal muscle tissue and (S)-(–)-2-methyl-1-butanol from yeast fermentation.

(R)-phenylethylamineacid
In the resolution of a racemic acid, a solution of (R)-phenylethylamine is reacted with a racemic mixture of phenylchloroacetic acid to form the corresponding salts. The salts are then separated by careful fractional crystallisation. Hydrochloric acid is added to the separated salts, and the respective acids are precipitated from their solutions.Resolution of a racemic base can be accomplished in the same manner with tartaric acid.

Passage 3
Stereoisomers are compounds that have same sequence of covalent bonds but differ in the relative dispositions of their atoms in space. Geometrical and optical isomers are the two important types of configurational isomers.The compound with double bonds or ring structure has restricted rotation, so exists in two geometrical forms. The double bonds in larger rings can also cause geometrical isomerism. The optical isomers rotate the plane of plane-polarised light. A sp3-hybrid-ised carbon atom bearing four different types of substituents is called an asymmetric centre of chiral centre. A chiral object or molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. The stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other are called diastereomers. Dias-tereomers have different physical properties.A racemic mixture is optically inactive and contains equal amounts of both the enan-tiomers. Resolution refers to method of separating a racemic mixture into two pure enantiomers. A meso compound is an optically inactive stereoisomer, which is achiral due to the presence of an internal plane of symmetry of centre of symmetry within the molecule.

Passage 4
Isomers that have the same skeletons (that is, with component atoms attached in the same sequence) but differ from each other with relative positions of some atoms in three-dimensional space by virtue of rotation about σ bonds are called conformational isomers or conformers.
A quantitative description that relates relative atomic positions to the changes in poten-tial energy during rotation about a σ bond describes the energetics of conformational interconversion, a process known as conformational analysis.Rotation about ( )C C−σ bond in ethane can give various conformers:In structure A1 or B1, C–H flagpoles at C-1 completely overlap each other at C-2. This form is called eclipsed conformation.

In structure A2 or B2, C—H flagpoles at C-1 is fixed at 60° dihedral angle so that it is exactly between two C–H flagpoles at C–2. This is called staggered conformation.• Various other structures in between eclipsed and staggered conformations are called
skew conformation.• Structures B1 and B2 show the orientations of the hydrogens on the front carbon rela-
tive to those on the back carbon, these are called Newman projections.• Structures A1 and A2 are called Sawhorse projections.

Hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes takes place in the presence of certain catalysts. In Sabatier Senderen’s reaction, the addition of hydrogen takes place in the presence of Raney nickel catalyst. Platinum and palladium can also be used as catalysts in these reactions. These are heterogeneous catalysts and used in finely divided state. Experi-mentally, it is observed that less crowded alkenes adsorb H2 with faster rate. Controlled hydrogenation of alkyne in the presence of Lindlar’s catalyst yields cis product, i.e.,

Catalytic hydrogenation is usually a stereospecific reaction called syn addition.• The C≡C bond is reduced more readily than C=C but other unsaturated groups
(except nitro and acid chlorides) are reduced less readily. Catalytic hydrogenation can, therefore, be used for the selective reduction of C=C in the presence of aromatic rings and carbonyl groups, whether or not the unsaturated functions are conjugated.

Passage 11
Strictly speaking, then, dehydration is not an E1 reaction of the protonated alcohol. In a true E1 elimination, the rate of reaction depends only upon heterolysis step, since every carbocation formed goes rapidly on to the product, that is, loss of a proton is much faster than regeneration of substrate. Here that is not the case for carbocations are formed revers-ibly from the protonated alcohol, and every so often one looses a proton to yield an alkene. Where the structure of alkyl group permits, rearrangement takes place. The initially formed carbocation rearranges to a more stable carbocation. The alkenes obtained are those formed by a loss of proton from this rearranged carbocation as well as from the original one.When more than one alkene can be formed the preferred product is the more stable one. Another factor comes in here. Since dehydration is reversible, the composition of the product does not necessarily reflect which alkene is formed faster but depending upon how nearly reaction approaches equilibrium which alkene is more stable.
125. When neopentyl alcohol, (CH3)3C CH2OH is heated with an acid, it is slowly converted to a 85:15 mixture of two alkenes of formula C5H10. The 85% of these alkene is

Passage 14
An optically active hydrocarbon A has molecular formula C8H18. A on monochlorina-tion gives five alkyl halide B to F with their molecular formula C8H17Cl. B does not undergo dehydrohalogenation on treatment with alcoholic solution of KOH. Treatment of either C or D with alcoholic KOH yields same alkene G(C8H16), which on ozonolysis followed by work-up with Zn-dimethyl sulphide gives an optically inactive compound C6H12O and ethanol. Also C is enantiomeric, whereas D is distereomeric. E on dehydro-halogenation yields an alkene, which on reductive ozonolysis yields H(C7H14O), which is optically inactive. H on treatment with LiAlH4 yields I(C7H16O) which can be resolved into enantiomers. F on dehydrohalogenation yields an alkene (C8H16), which on reduc-tive ozonolysis yields J(C7H14O), which is optically active and has same configuration as that of A. Identify A to J explaining the reactions involved.

Passage 3
Williamson’s ether synthesis is one of the best method to prepare ether. In this method ethers can be prepared by the reaction of alkoxides with alkyl halide. The reaction takes place by SN 2 mechanism. The more basic alkoxide ion displaces the halide or other leaving group to produce ether. While going for Williamson’s ether synthesis one should be aware of competitive reactions. The mechanism take palces as
R–O + R'–XSN2
R – O – R' + X

There are 18 alkene isomers with the molecular formula C6H12, and they are all drawn (A-R) in the box at the bottom of this page. You are presented with five flasks (1 to 5), each one containing a single pure sample of one of these alkenes. In a very long and excruciating lab class one afternoon, you run two separate reactions on each sample (i) ozonolysis (O3 followered by Me2S) and (ii) bromination (Br2/CCl4). For the ozonolysis reactions, you analyse what kind of stereoisomers (if any) are formed in each reaction. The results of the two reactions for each flask are summarized below that flask. Using your knowl-edge of alkene reactions, identify each sample (1 to 5) as as ONE of the alkenes drawn below (A-R) by writing that letter in the small box below:

If we take an alcohol solution of an aldehyde (or ketone) and pass into it a small amount of gaseous HCl the hemiacetal forms, and hemiacetal reacts with a second molar equiv-alent of the alcohol to produce an acetal (or ketal).

All the steps in the formation of an acetal from an aldehyde (or ketone) are reversible. With excess of alcohol, equilibrium favours forward (acetal formation) direction.Although acetals are hydrolysed to aldehydes and ketones in aqueous acid, they are stable in basic solution. Because of this property, it is a convenient method for protecting aldehyde and ketone from a series reaching in basic solution.

Passage 3
Aldehydes and ketones show nucleophilic addition reactions. The α-hydrogens in aldehydes and ketones are acidic. Therefore, aldehydes and ketones having at least one α-H undergo aldol condensation in the presence of a base such as NaOH. Aldehydes having no α-hydrogen undergo Cannizzaro reaction in the presence of concentrated alkali. The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones can be reduced to methylene group by Clemmensen or Wolf Kishner reduction. Aldehydes are easily oxidised to carboxylic acids by Tollen’s reagent and Fehling’s solution. Functional derivatives of carboxylic acids undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution with nucleophiles.

Passage 8
Active methylene compounds are of great importance in synthetic chemistry. When –CH2 (methylene) group is flanked between two electron withdrawing groups, then its hydrogen becomes acidic and can be replaced easily. The acidity of methylene hydrogen depends upon the strength of electron withdrawing group. Acetoacetic ester, malonic ester, etc. are the examples of active methylene compound. In synthetic application acidic hydrogen is trapped by a strong base to get resonance stabilised anion which reacts accordingly to give the desired product.

Passage 3
Nitration of benzene or any aromatic system is done by treating it with a mixture of Conc. HNO3 and Conc. H2SO4 (called nitrating mixture). These two acids react together according to the equation given below, to form nitronium ion which act as an electrophile:
2H2SO4 + HNO3 → 2HSO4– + H O NO3 2

2 ion, an electrophile then attacks benzene or any aromatic system to accomplish nitration in the following two steps with arenium ion as the reaction intermediate:
+ NO2 Step I HSO4 Step II
H NO2NO2
+ H2SO4⊕
⊕⊕
The direct nitration of aniline or phenol with nitrating mixture gives very poor yield of nitro product because benzene ring attached to –NH2 or –OH group is very sensitive to oxidation and major part of aniline or phenol is oxidized to give a black tar mass that
contains mainly benzoquinone, OO . Although –NH2 group is o/p-orienting,
m-nitro derivative is also formed. The ring is protected from oxidation by acetylating –NH2 group before subjecting it to nitration. After nitration, product is hydrolyzed to get deacetylated product (o- and p-nitro derivatives). Nitration of phenol is carried out by Dil. HNO3. It is believed that nitrous acid (present as an impurity) interacts with HNO3 to give nitrosonium ion, an electrophile which reacts with phenol to give o- and p-nitrosophenol, the latter being the principal product, according to the same mecha-nism as that of nitration mentioned above. Nitrosophenol is then oxidized by HNO3 to nitrophenol while HNO3 is itself reduced to HNO2.
61. Regarding the nitration of phenol with Dil. HNO3 as described above, the incorrect statement is
(a) HNO3 acts as an acid and also as an oxidant. (b) Nitrous acid acts as a base. (c) The reaction intermediate is an arenium ion. (d) Amount of HNO2 goes on decreasing with the progress of nitration.
62. Correct statement is/are
(a) Rate of nitration is in the order: CH3 NO2
> >
(b) Rate of nitration of benzene and that of hexa deuterated benzene occur almost at the same rate
(c) By increasing the concentration of acids (HNO3 + H2SO4), the rate of nitration increases
(d) All of the above

Passage 4
It is very well known that when a compound
G
reacts with an electrophile then we
either get ortho- or para-substituted product, i.e.,
G G
E
E+ or we get a meta-
substituted product, i.e.,
G
E.
This depends on the electron-releasing or electron-withdrawing power of the group, i.e., +R/–R or +M/–M effect of group G. There is another theory that is the electrophile attacks the ring carbon where the substituent G is a already attached.
i.e., G G E
+E

⊕ ⊕⊕
This is called ipso substitution reaction.
64. The factor which is expected to promote ipso substitution is (a) The group G should be a strong electron withdrawing group (b) A group which is highly electron withdrawing should be attached at ortho or para
position with respect to the group G (c) The group G should leave as G+ easily, i.e., G+ should be highly stable (d) The group G should leave easily, i.e., G+ should be highly unstable

Passage 5
When a second substituent is introduced in benzene ring, it is directed by group already present on benzene ring. Electron-releasing groups are activating, therefore o and p-directing, whereas electron-withdrawing groups are deactivating, therefore m- directing. Halogens, although they are electron withdrawing due to –I effect but still o- and p-directing due to +R effect. –N=O group is also deactivating but o- and p- directing due to presence of long pair of electrons like halogens it shows +R effect. When a third substituent is introduced into a disubstituted product, the o-isomer gives two, the m- isomer gives three while p-isomer gives only one product. This method is called Korner's method. The major product is formed such that it has minimum steric hindrance.

Passage 6
When a mono substituted benzene derivative, C6H5Y, undergoes further electrophilic substitution, e.g., nitration, the incoming substituent may be incorporated at the o-, m- or p- position and the overall rate at which substitution takes place may be faster or slower than with benzene itself. It has been observed that substitution occurs so as to yield either predominantly the m-isomer or a mixture of o- and p-isomers, in the former case the overall rate of attack is always slower than on benzene itself, in the latter case the overall rate of attack is usually faster than on benzene itself. This is due to electronic effects that Y can exert.Substituent, Y is thus classified as m- or o-/p-directing; if the substituent induces faster overall attack than on benzene itself then the substituent is said to be activating, if slower then deactivating.

Passage 2
Classification of Polymers
(A) Condensation polymers and condensation polymerisation: (i) Condensation polymerisation is also known as step polymerisation. (ii) For condensation polymerisation, monomers should have at least two functional
groups. Both functional groups may be same or different. (iii) Monomers having only two functional groups always give a linear polymer. For
example
nNH2–R–NH2 + nHOOC–R′–COOH Condenationreaction
H– NH–R–NH–C–R′–C–
O O
nPolyamide OH + (n – 1)H2O

(iv) Condensation polymers do not contain all the atoms initially present in the monomers. Some atoms are lost in the small molecule that is eliminated.
(v) Monomer having three functional groups always gives cross-linked polymer. Examples are: urea formaldelyde resin, phenol–formaldehyde resin, alkyde resin.
(B) Addition polymer: (i) Polymers which are formed by addition reaction are known as addition polymers. (ii) If monomer is ethylene or its derivative then addition polymer is either linear
polymer or branch-chain polymer. Examples are: Polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, polystyrene polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl cyanide, etc.
(iii) If monomer is 1,3-butadiene or 2-substituted-1,3 butadiene CH2=C–CH=CH2
G
then
polymer is always branch chain polymer which is always an elastomer. Example are:
–CH2–C=CH–CH2–nCH2=C–CH=CH2

(v) Addition polymerisation takes place in three steps: Initiation, chain propagation
and chain termination. (vi) Addition polymers are also known as chain growth polymers.
14. Which one of the following is a monomer of condensation polymer? (a) CH3(CH2)5–COOH (b) HO–CH2–CH2–OH (c) CH3–CH=CH–NH2 (d) CH3–CH=CH–CH2–CONH2

Passage 3
The carbohydrates in which the following properties are found are called reducing sugars.The reduction of Tollen’s reagent, Fehling’s solution, Benedict’s solution.All monosaccharides are reducing sugars. Contrary to this the carbohydrates in which the above properties are not found are called non-reducing sugars. For example, sucrose, starch, cellulose, etc. The disaccharides, in which carbonyl group of any one monosac-charide from both the monosaccharides, is present as hemiacetal or ketal and does not involve in glycosidic linkage formation, are reducing. For example, maltose and lactose. Two diastereomeric monosaccharides are called epimers when their configuration dif-fers only at stereogenic centre. Monosaccharides form glycoside with alcohol in the presence of an acid. All monosaccharides show mutarotation.

Passage 4
Monosaccharides have —CHO (or C=O) and —OH groups, so they undergo usual oxidation and reduction. Further, monosaccharides form osazone when treated with excess of phenylhydrazine (3 equivalents). In osazone formation only the first two carbon atoms are involved. Thus monosaccharides having identical configuration on rest of C atoms except first two will form same osazone. The same is the case with glu-cose and fructose.A, B and C are three hexoses and form same osazone D. Compounds A to D behave as shown below:
(i) D HCl ZnCH COOH → →

Carboxylate Sulphonate Phosphate
the hydroxide anion attacks the acyl carbon in carboxylates while it attacks the alkyl carbon in sulphonates leading to a difference in the site of cleavage. More interestingly, phosphate esters lie somewhat in between carboxylates and sulphonates in that cleav-age can occur in either direction.In an acidic solution, all the three types of phosphates (monoalkyl, dialkyl and trialkyl) are hydrolyzed to phosphoric acid, while in a basic solution only trialkyl phosphates undergo hydrolysis and only one alkoxy group is removed.
104. Which of the following factor explains the difference in attack of the nucleophile, OH– on carboxylates and sulphonates?
(a) Sulphonate anions are weakly basic and hence good leaving groups. (b) Carboxylate anions are strongly basic and hence poor leaving groups. (c) Both (a) and (b) (d) None of the these
105. Competition between phosphorus and alkyl carbon to nucleophilic attack is due to the fact that
(a) Phosphorus can accept an additional pair of electrons. (b) Phosphoric acid lies between carboxylic acid and sulphonic acid. (c) Both (a) and (b) (d) None of the these
106. The rate of hydrolysis of monoalkyl phosphates tends to ................. with increase in pH. (a) Decrease (b) Increase (c) Remains unaffected (d) None of these

Grignard reagents (RMgX) are prepared by the reaction of an organic halide and mag-nesium metal is in ether solvent.
R–X + Mg R O R− − → R–MgX
The solvent (usually diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran) plays a crucial role in the forma-tion of a Grignard reagent. Alkyl halides are more reactive than aryl and vinyl halides. Indeed, aryl and vinyl chlorides do not form Grignard reagent in diethyl ether.However, an alkyl halide containing an alcoholic –OH group can be converted to Grig-nard reagent by first protecting the –OH group to tert–butyldimethylsilyl ether which is inert to Grignard reagent. The protecting group is finally liberated by treatment with fluoride ion.

Passage 4
Alkyl halides and alcohols easily undergo nucleophilic substitution either through SN1 or SN2 mechanism. The relative case of these two processes depends upon the nature of the substrate (alkyl group as well as leaving group), nature of nucleophile and also upon the nature of solvent.SN1 mechanism involves the formation of carbocation as intermediate while SN2 mechanism involves the formation of a transition pentavalent state. SN1 is the main mechanism in 3º alkyl halides and alcohols, while SN2 mechanism is the path adopted by most of the 1º alkyl halides and 2º alkyl halides may follow SN1 as well as SN2.
116. Which of the following solvent will give maximum yield for an alkyl halide undergoing SN1 mechanism?
(a) Water (b) Ethanol (c) Diethyl ether (d) n-hexane
117. Rearrangement of alkyl groups occur when hydrogen halides react with alcohols except with most primary alcohols. The best explanation is that
(a) The 1º carbocations are unstable and hence are not formed. (b) The 1º carbocations are unable to undergo rearrangement. (c) Both (a) and (b) are true (d) Both (a) and (b) are false

119. A chemist treated a compound X with NaOH in presence of acetone as solvent. However, he recovered the starting material as such, and instead isolated a small amount of the product A. The product A was shown to have C, H and O and it had a molecular weight of 116g/mol. It gave a positive iodoform test and was found to be identical with a com-pound obtained by the aldol self-condensation of acetone.Although the product A did not discharge colour of bromine in CCl4, its dehydration product B with hot sulphuric acid discharged bromine dissolved in CCl4.

Amides undergo hydrolysis to yield carboxylic acid plus amine on heating in either aqueous acid or aqueous base. The conditions required for amide hydrolysis are more severe than those required for the hydrolysis of esters, anhydrides or acid chlorides, but the mechanism is similar (nucleophilic acyl substitution). Nucleophilic acyl sub-stitutions involve a tetrahedral intermediate, hence these are quite different from alkyl substitution (RCH2Br NaCN → RCH2CN) which involves a pentavalent intermediate or transition state.One of the important reactions of esters is their reaction with two equivalent of a Grignard reagent to give tertiary alcohols.

Passage 1
Steam distillation is used to purify a compound which is steam volatile and insoluble in water. The impurities should not be steam volatile. It is based on the principle that liquid will boil when partial vapour pressure of liquid and partial vapour pressure of steam both become equal to atmospheric pressure, P = p1 + p2. It reduces the boiling point of a liquid.

Passage 1
The IUPAC has set guidelines for logical and methodical naming of organic compounds. The complex substituents are written in brackets and their numbering is done sepa-rately. The bivalent radicals are named by adding ‘idene’ to the name of alkyl group. In polyfunctional compounds, all lower priority groups are written as a prefix. Now, name the following compounds.
69. (CH3)2CHOOCCHCHCH2OH
Br is
(a) 3-(3’-isopropoxycarbonyl cyclopentylidene) propane-1-ol (b) 3-(2’-bromo-3’-hydroxypropylidene) cyclopentane carboxylate (c) Iso-propyl-3-(2’-bromo-3’-hydroxypropylidenyl) cyclopentane carboxylate (d) Iso-propyl-3-(2’-bromo-3’-hydroxypropylidene) cyclopentane carboxylate

Passage 2
Rules for IUPAC nomenclature of compounds containing one functional group, multi-ple bonds and substituents are given hereunder.
(a) Select the longest possible chain of carbon atoms containing the functional group and the maximum number of multiple bonds as the parent chain without caring whether it also denotes the longest possible carbon chain or not.
(b) After selecting the parent chain, the numbering should be done in such a way that it gives lower possible number the functional group.
(c) When a chain containing functional groups such as –CHO, –COOH, COOR, –COCl, etc. is present, it is always given number 1 and number 1 is usually omitted from the final name of the compound.
(d) If the organic compound contains a functional group, multiple bond, side chain or substituent, the following order of preference should be followed.
Functional group > Double bond > Triple bond > Substituent
(e) If a compound contains two or more like groups, the numerical prefixes di, tri, tetra, etc. are used and terminal ‘e’ from the primary suffix is retained.
On the basis of the above rules, give answers for the following questions:
72. Consider the given statements (I) Acetone and acetaldehyde are homologues.
