Question

What are the organic compounds 'X' and 'Y' in the following reactions, respectively?
(I) CaC₂+ D₂O $\to$ 'X' + Ca(OD)₂
(II) Al₄C₃ + D₂O $\to$ ‘Y’ + Al(OD)₃

Moderate

A

C₂D₂ in both cases
B

CD₄ in both cases
C

X is C₂D₂ and Y is CD₄
D

X is CD₄ and Y is C₂D₂

Solution

(I) CaC₂+ 2D₂O $\to$ C₂D₂ + Ca(OD)₂
(II) Al₄C₃ + 12D₂O $\to$ 3CD₄ + 4Al(OD)₃
C₂D₂ and CD₄ are deuterated acetylene and methane
