A compound $C X_{8} H X_{8} O$ gives an orange precipitate with 2,4-DNP and a yellow precipitate with $NaOH / I X_{2}$ , is negative with Tollens and Fehling, and gives benzoic acid on vigorous oxidation. The two organic products of its reaction with $NaOH / I X_{2}$ are

Answer: A

A carbonyl, ketonic (Tollens negative) compound with

CH X_{3} CO X^{-}

and a benzene ring giving benzoic acid is acetophenone,

C X_{6} H X_{5} COCH X_{3}

. In the haloform reaction the

CH X_{3}

group is tri-iodinated and the

C - CI X_{3}

bond is cleaved, giving iodoform and sodium benzoate.
