An organic compound A(C_3 H_6 O) is resistant to oxidation but forms compound B(C_3 H_8 O) on reduction which reacts with HBr to form the bromide (C). C forms a Grignard reagent which reacts with A to give D (C_6 H_(14) O). Give the structures of A, B, C and D and explain the reactions involved. |
Answer» Solution :The compound A can be either an ALDEHYDE or a KETONE. SINCE it resists oxidation it must be a ketone.i.e., acetone `(CH_3 COCH_3)`. The REACTIONS involved are:
