An organic compound [A], molecular formula `C_(10)H_(20)O_(2)` was hydrolyzed with dilute sulphuric acid to
give a carboxylic acid [B] and an alcohol [C]. Oxidation of [C] with `CrO_(3) - H_(2)SO_(4)` produced [B].
Which of the following strucutres are not possible for [A]?

A

`(CH_(3))_(3)-C-COOCH_(2)C(CH_(3))_(3)`

B

`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")"CH"-OCOCH_(2)overset(CH_(3))overset("| ")"CH"-CH_(2)CH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)COOCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`

D

`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")"CH"-COOCH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset("| ")"CH"-CH_(2)CH_(3)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given organic compound [A] with the molecular formula \( C_{10}H_{20}O_{2} \). The compound undergoes hydrolysis to produce a carboxylic acid [B] and an alcohol [C]. Furthermore, oxidation of [C] with \( CrO_{3} - H_{2}SO_{4} \) regenerates [B]. We need to identify which structures are not possible for [A]. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Hydrolysis Reaction**: - The hydrolysis of [A] produces a carboxylic acid [B] and an alcohol [C]. The general reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{[A]} + H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{dilute } H_2SO_4} \text{[B]} + \text{[C]} \] - Since [A] has the formula \( C_{10}H_{20}O_{2} \), it suggests that [A] could be an ester or a related compound. 2. **Identifying the Functional Groups**: - The presence of \( O_2 \) in the molecular formula indicates that [A] is likely an ester or a compound that can yield both a carboxylic acid and an alcohol upon hydrolysis. 3. **Analyzing the Structures**: - We will analyze each option provided to determine if they can yield the required products upon hydrolysis and subsequent oxidation. 4. **Option 1**: - Draw the structure based on the given molecular formula. - Perform hydrolysis and check if it produces a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. - Check if the alcohol can be oxidized to regenerate the carboxylic acid. - **Conclusion**: This structure is possible. 5. **Option 2**: - Repeat the drawing and analysis as in Option 1. - Perform hydrolysis and check the products. - Check the oxidation of the alcohol. - **Conclusion**: This structure is also possible. 6. **Option 3**: - Draw the structure and analyze it similarly. - Perform hydrolysis and check the products. - Check the oxidation of the alcohol. - **Conclusion**: If this structure does not yield the required products, it is not possible. 7. **Final Evaluation**: - After analyzing all options, identify which structures do not conform to the requirement of producing [B] and [C] as specified.
