Considering the following reaction sequence, the correct statement(s) is(are)
  1. (A)Compounds and are carboxylic acids.✓ Correct
  2. (B)Compound decolorizes bromine water.
  3. (C)Compounds and react with hydroxylamine to give the corresponding oximes.✓ Correct
  4. (D)Compound reacts with dialkylcadmium to give the corresponding tertiary alcohol.

Answer: (A), (C)

Solution

From the reaction sequence, compound P is a carboxylic acid and Q is also a carboxylic acid. Option (A) is correct.

Compound S is a ketone (not an alkene), so it does not decolorize bromine water. Option (B) is incorrect.

Both P (if it contains a carbonyl after certain transformations) and S (a ketone) can react with hydroxylamine to form oximes. Option (C) is correct.

Compound R is an acid chloride. Acid chlorides react with dialkylcadmium to give ketones, not tertiary alcohols. Option (D) is incorrect.
