An organic compound has the formula C4H10O. It reacts with metallic sodium liberating hydrogen.
(i) Write down the formula of three possible isomers of the compound which are similar and react with sodium.
(ii) What will be the product if any one of the isomers reacts with acetic acid ?

Text Solution

The three isomers are
(i) `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH`
`CH_(3)CH(OH)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")"CH"-CH_(2)OH`
(ii) `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH +CH_(3)COOH rarr CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OOC CH_(3)`
