MCQ
Calcium heptane dioate on distillation produces :
  • A
    Cyclo hexanal
  • B
    Cyclohexene
  • Cyclohexanone
  • D
    Cyclohexanoic acid

Answer

Correct option: C.
Cyclohexanone
Calcium salts of saturated dicarboxylic acids on heating give corresponding cyclic ketones.
The Clemmenson reduction of cyclic ketones results in the formation of corresponding cycloakanes.
The reaction is best used for the synthesis of cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and cycloheptane.
