To solve the problem step by step, we need to deduce the structures of compounds A, B, C, D, and E based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Identify the Ether A The molecular formula of ether A is \(C_5H_{12}O\). Ethers have the general structure \(R-O-R'\). To find a suitable structure, we can consider a possible arrangement of carbon atoms and oxygen. One possible structure for ether A could be: - **A**: \(CH_3-CH_2-O-CH(CH_3)-CH_3\) (This is 1-ethoxy-2-methylpropane) ...
