An compound (A ) `C_(4)H_(8)Cl_(2)` on alkaline hydrolysis to give compound (B ) `C_(4)H_(8)O` which gives an oxime and positive Tollen's reagent test . What is the structure of (A) ?

A

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHCl_(2)`

B

`CH_(3)C Cl_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CH(Cl)CH(Cl)CH_(3)`

D

`CH_(2)ClCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`+ve` Tollen's test `implies` B is analdehyde .
A on hydrolysis gives aldehyde `implies` A is a geminal dihalide with halogen atoms on terminal C-atom.
