The carboxylic acid that does not undergo HVZ reaction is
A. CH3COOH
B. (CH3)2COOH
C. CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH
D. (CH3)3CCOOH
Answer:C
The carboxylic acid that does not undergo HVZ reaction is
A. CH3COOH B. (CH3)2COOH C. CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH D. (CH3)3CCOOH
Explanation: The carboxylic acids having a-hydrogen atom undergo HVZ reaction. Since (CH3)3C. COOH doesnot contain a-H-atom; so, it does not undergo HVZ reaction.
