Aldehydes, Ketones & Acids · Acidic strength of carboxylic acids

The correct order of acidic strength of the major products formed in the given reactions, is :
  • (A)PhNH2→(2) CuCN(3) HX3OX+/Δ(1) NaNOX2+HCl (<5∘C)[A]\mathrm{PhNH_2}\xrightarrow[\substack{\text{(2) }\ce{CuCN}\\ \text{(3) }\ce{H3O+}/\Delta}]{\text{(1) }\ce{NaNO2 + HCl}\,(<5^\circ\mathrm{C})}[\mathrm{A}]
  • (B)CHX3CHX2CHO→Δ[Ag(NHX3)X2]X+, OHX−[B]\ce{CH3CH2CHO}\xrightarrow[\Delta]{\ce{[Ag(NH3)2]+}\text{, }\ce{OH-}}[\mathrm{B}]
  • (C)CHX4+OX2→(ii) NaX2CrX2OX7/HX+(i) MoX2OX3[C]\ce{CH4 + O2}\xrightarrow[\text{(ii) }\ce{Na2Cr2O7}/\ce{H+}]{\text{(i) }\ce{Mo2O3}}[\mathrm{C}]
  • (D)PhCHX2MgBr+COX2→HX3OX+Dry ether[D]\ce{PhCH2MgBr + CO2}\xrightarrow[\ce{H3O+}]{\text{Dry ether}}[\mathrm{D}]
