The product $(A)$ in the following reaction is:

$p$-Cresol reacts with chloroform in an alkaline medium to give compound $A$,which on addition of hydrogen cyanide forms compound $Y$. Acidic hydrolysis of $Y$ yields a chiral carboxylic acid. What is the structure of the carboxylic acid?

Which of the following compounds is the slowest to react with nitrosonium ion $(NO^{+})$?

An organic compound contains $69.77 \%$ carbon,$11.63 \%$ hydrogen and the rest is oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is $86$. It does not reduce Tollens' reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogensulphite and gives a positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation,it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Write the possible structure of the compound.

An organic compound $X$ is oxidised by using acidified $K_2Cr_2O_7$ solution. The product obtained reacts with phenyl hydrazine but does not give the silver mirror test. The compound $X$ is,

The reaction shown above is a Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement of an asymmetric ketone with magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate (in the drawing,$Mg^{+2}$ is omitted for clarity). Identify the major product.
