The correct Answer is:
To determine the structure of compound D from the given sequence of reactions, we will analyze each step systematically. ### Step 1: Identify Compound A Given the molecular formula of A is C6H12, we can calculate the degree of unsaturation: - Degree of Unsaturation = (Number of Carbons + 1 - Number of Hydrogens) / 2 - Degree of Unsaturation = (6 + 1 - 12) / 2 = -5 / 2 = 1 This indicates that compound A has one double bond. ### Step 2: Reaction of A with HCl When A reacts with HCl, it forms compounds B and C, which are isomers of C6H13Cl. This suggests that A is likely an alkene that undergoes electrophilic addition. ### Step 3: Reaction of B with Alcoholic KOH The reaction of B with alcoholic KOH yields compound D, which is an isomer of A and gives a positive test with Br2/CCl4, indicating that D is likely an alkene. ### Step 4: Ozonolysis of D When D undergoes ozonolysis, it produces compounds E and F. The problem states that E gives a positive iodoform test and a negative Fehling's test. This suggests that E is likely an aldehyde with a methyl group adjacent to the carbonyl, which is necessary for the iodoform test. ### Step 5: Ozonolysis of A The ozonolysis of A produces compounds F and G, both of which give positive Tollen's test. This indicates that both F and G are likely aldehydes. ### Step 6: Reaction of F and G with Concentrated NaOH The reaction of F and G with concentrated NaOH results in the formation of HCOONa (sodium formate) and an alcohol, indicating that a Cannizzaro reaction is taking place. This reaction typically occurs with aldehydes that do not have alpha hydrogens. ### Step 7: Determine the Structure of D Given the clues from the reactions: - D must be an isomer of A and have no alpha hydrogens. - D must yield an aldehyde that gives a positive iodoform test. Considering the above points, the structure of D can be deduced to be a compound that fits these criteria. The correct structure of D is likely a branched alkene that lacks alpha hydrogens, such as 2-methyl-2-pentene. ### Final Answer The structure of compound D is **2-methyl-2-pentene**. ---
