An alkyl halide (X)of the folmula C(6)H(...

An alkyl halide `(X)`of the folmula `C_(6)H_(13)Cl` on treatment with potassium tertiary butoxide gives two isomeric alkenes `(Y)` and `(Z)(C_(6)H_(12))`. Both the alkenes on hydrogenation give `2,3-`dimethyl butane. Perdict the structures of `(X),(Y)` , and `(Z)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that
`underset((X))(C_(6)H_(13)Cl) overset((CH_(3))_(3)CO^(-)K^(-))to "Two isomeric alkenes of formula" C_(6)H_(12) "(Y) and (Z)" overset(H_(2))to underset("2, 3-Dimethylbutane")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH- overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(3))`
The two alkenes forming 2, 3-dimethyl butane are:
`underset((Y))(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C=overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-CH_(3))` and `underset((Z))(CH_(2)=overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(3))`

An aromatic kentone (X) has the molecular formula C_(10)H_(12)O_(2) . On vigorous oxidation, it yields a dibasic acid (Y) having the formula C_(9)H_(8)O_(5) which rapidly forms an anhydride on heating. (X) on strong heating with sodium hypobromite gives monobasic acid (Z) with the formula C_(9)H_(10)O_(3) . (Z), when heated with soda lime, gives 3-methylanisole. Interpret the above reactions and deduce the structures of (X), (Y), and (Z).
