Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2023 · 24 January, Shift 2

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: H2N−CO−CH2−CH2−CO−CH3\text{H}_2\text{N}-\text{CO}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CO}-\text{CH}_3 (4-oxopentanamide) under Clemmensen reduction conditions will give HOOC−CH2−CH2−CH2−CH3\text{HOOC}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3 (pentanoic acid).

Statement II: (CH3)2CH−CH2−CHCl−CO−CH3(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CHCl}-\text{CO}-\text{CH}_3 under Wolff-Kishner reduction conditions will give (CH3)2CH−CH2−CHCl−CH2−CH3(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CHCl}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true

  • B

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false
