An unknown organic compound (A) with the molecular formula C9H12O does not decolourize Br2 in CCl4, reacts with sodium to give a colourless, odourless gas and can be oxidised by hot alkaline KMnO4 to give benzoic acid. Then, following test were performed on the compound (A) is given sequence: Test (a): The colour of the solution changes from orange to green when K2Cr2O7 is added to it. Test (b): The compound can be resolved. Test (c): No yellow precipitate of CHl3 is formed when reacted with l2 and OH−. Test (d): Oxidation of the compound with CrO3 in pyridine gives another compound that gives Tollen's test. Which of the following would not be the structure of compound (A) after test (b)? |
