JEE Main 2025 — 23 January, Evening Shift — Question 29

Given below are two statements:

Consider the following reaction

figure

Statement (I): In the case of formaldehyde

figure

Statement (II) : In the case of trichloro acetaldehyde

figure

In the light of the above statements,

choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

    Statement I true but Statement II is false

  2. Option B:

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true

  4. Option D:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

keq=2280\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}}=2280 is for HCHO

keq =2000k_{\text {eq }}=2000 is for chloral

Both data is given in clayden and warren book. keq>1\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}}>1 because HCHO and chloral are

more electrophilic.
