    Which of the following compounds when heated with CO at \[150{{\,}^{o}}C\]and 500 arm pressure in presence of \[\text{B}{{\text{F}}_{\text{3}}}\]forms ethyl propionate?

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]                             

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}OC{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]                            

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Diethyl ether when heated with CO at \[\text{150}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\] and 500 atm pressure in presence of \[\text{B}{{\text{F}}_{\text{3}}}\] forms ethyl propionate. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}+CO\frac{{{150}^{o}}C\Delta }{500\,atm}\underset{ethyl\,propionate}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\]
