5. JEE Main 2026 · 24 Jan · Shift 2 · Detection of Functional Groups

   The unsaturated ether on acidic hydrolysis produces carbonyl compounds as shown below :-

   $$\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{CH_3-CH=CH-O-CH=CH_2}\\[4pt]\Big\downarrow\mathrlap{\,\mathrm{H_3O^{(+)}}}\\[4pt]\mathrm{CH_3-CH_2-CH=O}\ \text{ and }\ \mathrm{O=CH-CH_3}\end{array}$$

   Based on this, predict the solution/reagent that will help to distinguish "P" and "Q" obtained in the following reaction :-

   $$\mathrm{CH_3-CH=CH-O-\overset{\overset{\displaystyle CH_3}{|}}{C}=CH_2}\ \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\mathrm{H_3O^{(+)}}}\ \mathrm{P + Q}$$
