An organic compound (A) , C_(4)H_(8)Cl_(2) on hydrolysis forms another compound (B) , C_(4)H_(8)O. If (B) does not responds to iodo form test , then identify possible structures of (A) and (B).

Answer»

Solution :If (B) does not GIVE iodoform TEST , it can be an aldehyde.
Hence (B) may be : `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO "or" CH_(3)UNDERSET(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-CHO`
Accordingly (A) will be : `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)underset(Cl)underset(|)CH-Cl underset(KOH)overset(aq.)toCH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO`
or `(CH_(3))_(2)CH-underset(Cl)underset(|)CH-Cl underset(KOH)overset(aq.)to(CH_(3))_(2)CH- CHO`
