An ether, (A) having molecular formula, ...

An ether, (A) having molecular formula, `C_(6)H_(14)O`, when treated with excess of HI produced two alkyl iodides which on hydrolysis yield compounds (B) and (C ). Oxidation of (B ) gives an acid (D), whereas oxidation of (C ) results in the formation of a mixed ketone, (E ) . Give graphic representation of (A) to (E).

To solve the problem step by step, we will identify the ether (A) with the molecular formula C6H14O, determine the products formed upon treatment with HI, and then find the compounds (B), (C), (D), and (E) as described in the question. ### Step 1: Identify the Ether (A) The molecular formula C6H14O suggests that the ether could be a simple ether with two alkyl groups. A possible structure for ether (A) is: - **A**: CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-CH3 (This is diethyl ether) ### Step 2: Reaction with Excess HI When ether (A) is treated with excess HI, it undergoes cleavage to form two alkyl iodides. The ether can be cleaved into: ...
