An aliphatic compound (A) with a molecular formula C_3H_6O reacts with phenylhydrazine to give compound (B). Reaction of (A) with I_2 in alkaline solution on warming gives a yellow precipitate (C). Identify the compounds A, B and C.

Answer»

Solution :Identification of COMPOUNDS A, B and C is done as under :
`underset("Acetone")(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(3) + C_(6)H_(5)NHNH_(2)) to CH_(3) -underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C= N NHC_(6)H_(5) + H_(2)O`
`CH_(3) -underset(A)overset(O)overset(||)C -CH_(3) + 3I_(2)+ 4NaOH to underset("Iodoform")(CHI_(3)) + CH_(3)COONa + 3NaI + 3H_(2)O`
