An organic compound (A) , C_(4)H_(8)Cl_(2) on hydrolysis forms another compound (B) , C_(4)H_(8)O. If all possible structures of (B) visualised above in (a) and (b) are treated with Zn - Hg/HCl , what are the products ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The possible STRUCTURE of B and their reduction products with Zn - Hg/HCL (Clemmenson's reduction) are:
`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)CH_(3)underset(HCl)overset(Zn - Hg)to CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO underset(HCl)overset(Zn - Hg)to CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH- CHO underset(HCl)overset(Zn - Hg)to CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-CH_(3)`
