A white precipitate was formed slowly when silver nitrate was added to compound `(A)` with molecular formula `C_(6)H_(13)Cl`.Compound `(A)` on treatment with hot alcoholic potassium hydroxide gave a misture of two isomeric alkenes `(B)` and `(C)`, havinig the formuls `C_(6)H_(12)`. The mixture of `(B)` and `(C)`, on ozonolsis, furnished four compounds.
i. `CH_(3)CHO`,ii `C_(2)H_(5)CHO`
iii. `CH_(3)COCH_(3)`,(iv) `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CHO`
What are the structures of (A),(B)and (C) ?

AI Generated Solution

To determine the structures of compounds (A), (B), and (C) based on the information provided, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Compound (A) Given the molecular formula \( C_6H_{13}Cl \), we know that compound (A) is likely a chlorinated alkane. The formation of a white precipitate upon the addition of silver nitrate suggests that (A) is a primary or secondary alkyl chloride, as these can form stable carbocations that react with silver nitrate to produce AgCl. **Structure of Compound (A)**: A suitable candidate for (A) is 2-chlorohexane, which can form a secondary carbocation upon reaction. ...
