Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?
Ilya [14]

2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid  is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.

Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.

Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Full question :

Q.  Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

  • A) 2,2-Dimethylpropanedioic acid 2-methylpropanoic acid
  • B) 2-Ethylpropanedioic acid Butanoic acid
