Question

After completion of the reactions (I and II), the organic compound(s) in the reaction mixtures is(are)
Reaction I :
Reaction II :

Options

A.Reaction I : P and Reaction II : P
B.Reaction I : U, acetone and Reaction II : Q acetone
C.Reaction I : T, U, acetone and Reaction II : P
D.Reaction I : R, acetone and Reaction II : S acetone

Solution

Reaction I :
Mechanism

In basic medium halogenation dose not stop with replacement of just one hydrogen and poly halogenation takes place because a-haloketones are more reactive towards base and haloform reaction takes placeIn above reaction Br2 is limiting agents.
