Dr. O’Malley discovered three different compounds P, Q and R from the oxidationreaction of an alcohol in the laboratory respectively. A bright coloured precipitatewas formed from compound P and Q when treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazinewhile compound R showed negative result. Meanwhile, when compound P reactwith Fehling's solutions, red brown precipitate was formed and vice versa forcompound Q. He also noticed further oxidation of compound P will producecompound S that has fruity scent when react with methanol.Suggest the possible condensed structure of compound P, Q and R and write itsIUPAC name.Identify why compound R showed negative result when treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound P reacts with fehling'ssolutions and explain why compound Q has negative result.Show the formation of compound S when compound P react with methanol toproduce the fruity scent compound. Write the complete chemical equation for thisreaction.
