With reference to the scheme given, which of the given statment(s) about T, U, V and W is (are) correct ?
(A)T is soluble in hot aqueous NaOH✓ Correct
(B)U is optically active
(C)Molecular formula of W is C10H18O4✓ Correct
(D)V gives effervescence on treatment with aqueous NaHCO3✓ Correct
Answer: (A), (C), (D)
Solution
From the reaction scheme: T is a phenolic compound (soluble in hot NaOH), so (A) is correct. U is a saturated diester with no chiral centers (not optically active), so (B) is incorrect. W is the diester with molecular formula C₁₀H₁₈O₄, so (C) is correct. V is a dicarboxylic acid that gives effervescence with NaHCO₃, so (D) is correct. The answer is (A), (C), (D).
