CHEMISTRY

Which of the following compounds will not undergo hydrolysis easily?

Aryl halides resist hydrolysis due to partial double bond character in the C–X bond. This follows from latest NCERT 2026-27 principle explaining the concept clearly for NEET students in simple steps as per rationalized syllabus.

Which compound is formed by the ozonolysis of 3-methyl-1-butene followed by hydrolysis?

Ozonolysis of 3-methyl-1-butene (CH₂\=CHCH(CH₃)₂) cleaves the double bond, forming methanal (HCHO) and 2-methylpropanal ((CH₃)₂CHCHO).

Which type of bond in peptidoglycan is hydrolyzed by lysozyme?

Peptidoglycan glycan backbone consists of repeating beta-linked disaccharide where N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid are joined via beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds between C1 of one sugar and C4 of other, creating long linear strands that run roughly perpendicular to cell long axis. This beta-1,4 linkage creates specific geometry recognized by lysozyme, a muramidase ubiquitous in innate immunity found in tears, saliva, egg white, and macrophage granules. Lysozyme's active site cleft accommodates hexasaccharide, distorts MurNAc residue into half-chair conformation, and catalyzes hydrolysis

Which alcohol is produced when ethyl magnesium bromide reacts with acetaldehyde followed by hydrolysis?

Ethyl magnesium bromide (CH₃CH₂MgBr) reacts with acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO), adding the ethyl group to the carbonyl, yielding butan-2-ol (CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃) after hydrolysis.
