Answer» Solution :Strucutre of A is ARRIVED at as under: It does not reduce Fehling.s solution but forms bisulphite compound, therefore, it is a kentone. It GIVES POSITIVE iodoformtest, therefore, it is METHYL ketone. The possible structures are as follows `CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)` and `CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(3)` |
