Write down the structural isomeric ether...

Write down the structural isomeric ethers corresponding to the molecular forluma `C_5H_(12)O`.
`DBE=(sumn(v-2))/(2)+1`
`=(5(4-2)+12(1-2)+1(2-2))/(2)+1=0`
This implies that only saturated acyclic ethers are to be considered

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Six isomeric ethers are possible:
`underset(1-"methoxybutane")(CH_(3)-O-overset(1)(C)H_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3))`
`underset(1-"Ethoxypropane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)O-overset(1)(C)H_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))" "underset(2-"Methoxybutane")(CH_(3)Ooverset(.^(1)CH_(3))overset(|)(.^(2)CH_(2))overset(3)(C)H_(2)-overset(4)(C)H_(3))` ltrgt `underset(2-" Ethoxypropane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)O-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(2)(C)H_(2)CH_(3))" "underset(1-"Methoxy-2-methylpropane")(CH_(3)O-overset(1)(C)H_(2)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(2)(C)HCH_(3))`
`underset(2-"Methoxy-2-methylpropane")(CH_(3)O-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3))`

Write down the acyclic isomers having the molecular formula C_3H_6O . Strategy: first calculate the degree of unsaturation or DBEs: DBE=(sumn(v-2))/(2)+1 =(3(4-2)+6(1-2)+1(2-2))/(2)+1=1 This means that various acyclic isomers of C_3H_6O contain just one double bond, i.e., C=C or C=O , in the following skeletons: C-C-C-O,C-C-O-C,C-underset(O)underset(|)(C)-C
