Monocyclic compounds P, Q, R and S are the major products formed in the reaction sequences given below.
The product having the highest number of unsaturated carbon atom(s) is-
P 
Q 
R 
S
The product having the highest number of unsaturated carbon atom(s) is-




- (A)P
- (B)Q
- (C)R
- (D)S✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Analyzing the reaction sequences:
P: Contains 2 unsaturated carbons (one C=C double bond)
Q: Contains 2 unsaturated carbons (one C=C double bond)
R: Contains 2 unsaturated carbons (one C=C double bond)
S: Contains 4 unsaturated carbons (two C=C double bonds in a diene system)
Therefore, product S has the highest number of unsaturated carbon atoms.



P: Contains 2 unsaturated carbons (one C=C double bond)
Q: Contains 2 unsaturated carbons (one C=C double bond)
R: Contains 2 unsaturated carbons (one C=C double bond)
S: Contains 4 unsaturated carbons (two C=C double bonds in a diene system)
Therefore, product S has the highest number of unsaturated carbon atoms.
