The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds A and B based on the given information about their reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecular Formula**: - Compound A has the molecular formula C₄H₁₀O. This indicates that it could be an alcohol since it contains an -OH group. 2. **Determine the Degree of Unsaturation**: - The degree of unsaturation (DU) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{DU} = C + 1 - \frac{H}{2} \] - For C₄H₁₀O: \[ \text{DU} = 4 + 1 - \frac{10}{2} = 4 + 1 - 5 = 0 \] - A degree of unsaturation of 0 suggests that there are no rings or double bonds in compound A. 3. **Reaction with Lucas Reagent**: - Lucas reagent is used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides. Since compound A reacts with Lucas reagent at room temperature, it indicates that compound A is a tertiary alcohol. - The tertiary alcohol that fits the formula C₄H₁₀O is 2-methyl-2-propanol (tert-butanol). 4. **Formation of Compound B**: - When 2-methyl-2-propanol (compound A) reacts with Lucas reagent, it forms 2-chloro-2-methylpropane (compound B). 5. **Heating Compound B with Alcoholic KOH**: - When compound B (2-chloro-2-methylpropane) is heated with alcoholic KOH, it undergoes an elimination reaction (E2 mechanism) to form isobutene (2-methylpropene). 6. **Final Identification**: - Thus, compound A is 2-methyl-2-propanol and compound B is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane. ### Summary: - Compound A: 2-methyl-2-propanol - Compound B: 2-chloro-2-methylpropane
