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