During an experimental workup procedure, a chemist treated a starting material with NaoH in the solvent acetone [(CH_(3))_(2)C=O] , however, the starting material was recovered unreacted. Instead, the chemist isolated a small amount of product A (shown below). Product A 1. Elemental analysis of product A indicated that it consisted only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. 2. Product A had a molecular weight of 116 g/mol. 3. Product A was a methyl ketone because it gave a positive iodoform test. 4. When product A was treated with Br_(2) in C Cl_(4) , the red bromine colour persisted, because no carbon-carbon double bonds were present to react with the bromine. The structure of product A was further confirmed when treatment with hot sulfuric acid resulted in the corresponding dehydration product, product (B)gt Q.
