Assign a suitable structure to C(4)H(8)O...

Assign a suitable structure to `C_(4)H_(8)O_(2)` that can give iodoform test and white trubidity with Lucas reagent on heating.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the compound can give iodoform test, it must have a `CH_(3)CO` group and also a primary alcoholic group `(-CH_(2)OH)` because it gives white turbidity on heating with Lucas reagent. The structure of the compound is :
`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH` : 4-Hydroxybutan-2-one

A compound [A] with molecular formula C_(4)H_(10)O reacts rapidly with metallic sodium but very slowly with Lucas reagent. When [A] treated with hot concentrated H_(2)SO_(4) , it gives a compound [B] C_(4)H_(8) which upon hydration with aqueous H_(2)SO_(4) forms a compound [C] with molecular formula C_(4)H_(10)O . The compound [C] is almost unert to metallic sodium but reacts rapidly with Lucas reagent. What are the compounds [A], [B] and [C] ? Explain the reaction involved.

Two isomeric compounds (A) and (B) have C_(4)H_(11)N as molecular formula. Both on separately treating with HNO_(2) lose their N_(2) producing two isomeric alcohols (C) and (D) respectively of molecular formula C_(4)H_(10)O . (C) reacts with Lucas reagent immediately and units oxidation. (D) does not reacts with Lucas reagent in cold but can be easily oxidized. Complete methylation of either (A) or (B) is made which on decomposition does not produce 1-butene. Identify A to D.
