An organic compound (A) , C_(4)H_(8)Cl_(2) on hydrolysis forms another compound (B) , C_(4)H_(8)O. If the compound (B) responds positively to iodo form test , then identify (A) and (B).

Answer»

Solution :`UNDERSET(C_(4)H_(8)Cl_(2))(A) overset(KOH(aq))to underset(C_(4)H_(8)O)(B)underset(I_(2))overset(NAOH)toCHI_(3)`
`rArr`(B) is a methyl ketone since it RESPONDS positively to iodoform TEST.
Hence (B) is `CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)CH_(3)`
Clearly (A) will be `CH_(3)-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)C-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
