You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

During the electrolytic reduction of oxalic acid (COOH-COOH) with a lead cathode, the oxalic acid is reduced to glycollic acid (COOH-CH2OH) and glyoxalic acid (COOH-CHO) as the two main products.

Aceto acetic ester behaves as:

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Acetoacetic ester (CH3COCH2COOCH3) behaves as both a keto compound, due to the presence of the keto group (>C=O), and as an unsaturated hydroxy compound, due to the presence of an enol form stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Explanation

The process of rapid equilibrium between a carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its alpha-carbon and its corresponding enol form is known as keto-enol tautomerism. This tautomerism is an important phenomenon in organic chemistry, as it affects the reactivity and properties of the compounds involved.
