Assign a suitable structure to C(6)H(8)O...

Assign a suitable structure to `C_(6)H_(8)O_(2)` that can give iodoform test and white trubidity with Lucas reagent on heating.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the compound can give iodoform test, it must have a `CH_(3)CO` group and also a primary alcoholic group `(-CH_(2)OH)` because it gives white turbidity on heating with Lucas reagent. The structure of the compound is :
`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH` : 4-Hydroxybutan-2-one
