Consider the given reaction: $CH_3COCH_3\xrightarrow{dil\ Ba(OH)_2}$\"X\"". The functional groups present in compound \""X\"" are:"
A
ketone and double bond
B
double bond and aldehyde
C
alcohol and aldehyde
D
alcohol and ketone
Detailed Solution
Acetone undergoes a base-catalysed aldol reaction (with dilute $Ba(OH)_2$) to give diacetone alcohol: $CH_3-CO-CH_3\xrightarrow{Ba(OH)_2}CH_3-C(OH)(CH_3)-CH_2-CO-CH_3$. The functional groups present in this aldol product are alcohol and ketone.
