JEE Main 12 April 2023, Shift 1, Chemistry Q88

Question 88 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 28 of 30, Section B.

[figure: H5C2O−C6H4−CH2CHO\mathrm{H_5C_2O-C_6H_4-CH_2CHO} (para-substituted benzene) --(i) NH4Cl/KCN\mathrm{NH_4Cl/KCN}, (ii) H2SO4/H+\mathrm{H_2SO_4/H^+}--> 'A' --Conc. HNO3−H2SO4\mathrm{HNO_3-H_2SO_4} (2eq)--> 'B' --(i) (CH3CO)2O\mathrm{(CH_3CO)_2O}, (ii) EtOH, Δ\Delta, (iii) H2\mathrm{H_2}, Pd/C, (iv) HNO2\mathrm{HNO_2}, (v) NaI--> 'D' (CxH19NO4I2\mathrm{C_xH_{19}NO_4I_2})] The value of xx in compound 'D' is ______

The figure, in words

Reaction scheme: p-ethoxyphenylacetaldehyde (H5C2O on a benzene ring para to CH2CHO) with (i) NH4Cl/KCN (ii) H2SO4/H+ gives 'A'; A with conc. HNO3-H2SO4 (2eq) gives 'B'; B with the sequence (i) (CH3CO)2O (ii) EtOH, heat (iii) H2, Pd/C (iv) HNO2 (v) NaI gives 'D' with formula CxH19NO4I2.
