The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given observations about the compound 'D' with the molecular formula \( C_8H_{16}O \). ### Step 1: Identify Compound D Given that compound D reacts with Lucas reagent within 5 minutes, we can conclude that it is a secondary alcohol. This is because secondary alcohols react with Lucas reagent (a mixture of hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride) relatively quickly, while primary alcohols react much slower. **Hint:** Lucas reagent is used to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols based on their reactivity. ### Step 2: Determine Compound X Upon heating compound D in the presence of acid, it produces compound X, which can decolorize both KMnO4 and Br2/CCl4. The ability to decolorize these reagents indicates that compound X is likely an alkene, as alkenes can undergo oxidation with KMnO4 (Baeyer test) and addition reactions with bromine. **Hint:** Alkenes are characterized by the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond, which is responsible for their reactivity with bromine and permanganate. ### Step 3: Analyze Compound Y Compound X undergoes ozonolysis to yield compound Y. Ozonolysis typically cleaves double bonds and can produce carbonyl compounds. The problem states that Y can yield 2 moles of iodoform and a sodium salt of a dibasic acid upon treatment with iodine and NaOH. The iodoform test indicates that Y must contain a methyl ketone (a carbonyl group adjacent to a methyl group). The presence of a dibasic acid suggests that Y also has a structure that allows for the formation of two carboxylic acid groups upon decarboxylation. **Hint:** The iodoform test is a qualitative test for methyl ketones and some alcohols that can be oxidized to methyl ketones. ### Step 4: Decarboxylation to Form n-butane The sodium salt of the dibasic acid derived from Y can undergo decarboxylation (removal of CO2) using soda lime to yield n-butane. This indicates that Y must have a structure that, after losing two CO2 molecules, results in the straight-chain alkane n-butane. **Hint:** Decarboxylation typically occurs at the terminal carbon of a carboxylic acid, leading to the formation of alkanes. ### Step 5: Construct the Structures 1. **Compound D**: Since D is a secondary alcohol, it could be something like 2-octanol. 2. **Compound X**: Upon dehydration of D, X could be an alkene like 2-octene. 3. **Compound Y**: Ozonolysis of 2-octene could yield a compound that contains a methyl ketone and a carboxylic acid, such as 3-oxooctanoic acid. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **D** is likely 2-octanol (C8H16O). - **X** is likely 2-octene. - **Y** is likely 3-oxooctanoic acid. Thus, the final answer is: - **Compound D**: 2-octanol - **Compound X**: 2-octene - **Compound Y**: 3-oxooctanoic acid
