Section B
Q 1. (a) Complete the following reactions:
(b) Compound (A) (C4H8O4) gives positive test with Tollen’s reagent. Treatment of (A) with
bromine water produces an optically active compound (B). Oxidation of (A) with nitric acid

gives a positive NaHCO3. On treatment with PCl5, (A) gives compound (B). Compound (B)
when treated with NH3 forms compound (C). On reaction with Br2/NaOH, (C) gives compound
(D) with molecular formula CH5N.
