A compound (D) (C_(8)H_(10)O) upon treatement with alkaline solution of iodine gives a yellow precipitate. The filterate on acidification gives a white solid (E) (C_(7)H_(6)O_(2)). Write the structures of (D) and (E), and explain the formation of (E).

Answer»

Solution :`DU` in `(D) =((2n_(C )+2))/2=((2xx8+2)-10)/2=4^(@) (C:H~~1:1)`
So, it must contain benzene ring, and `(MeCO-)` GROUP, since it gives IODOFORM TEST. The structure of COMPOUND `(D)` may be `(Ph-CO-Me)`.
