Question 58 as printed in the NEET 2024 booklet

  1. A.(i) (ii) (iii) PCC✓
  2. B.(i) (ii) (iii) alk. (iv)
  3. C.(i) (ii) PCC
  4. D.(i) (ii)

Solution

Converting a terminal alkene to the aldehyde with one more carbon at the chain end needs anti-Markovnikov hydration: then gives the primary alcohol, and PCC oxidises it gently to the aldehyde without going on to the acid — option (1).
