A) mesooxalic acid
B) glyceraldehyde
C) dihydroxy acetone
D) tartronic acid
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Glycerol on oxidation with bismuth nitrate gives mesooxalic acid. \[\underset{glycerol}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{2}}OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{2}}OH \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CHOH}}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{Bi{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}}\underset{mesooxalic\text{ }acid}{\mathop{HOOC-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ |\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-COOH}}\,\]
