Which of the following is correct : -
A
Cycloheptane is an aromatic compound
B
Diastase is an enzyme
C
Acetophenone is an ether
D
All the above
Detailed Solution
Diastase (amylase) is an enzyme that hydrolyses starch into maltose; it is found in germinating barley (malt). Correct.
Cycloheptane is a saturated cyclic alkane, not aromatic (aromatic compounds are planar, cyclic and conjugated with $(4n + 2)\pi$ electrons).
Acetophenone, $C_6H_5COCH_3$, is a ketone, not an ether.
So the correct statement is that diastase is an enzyme.
