A white precipitate was formed slowly when AgNO_(3) was added to a compound (A) with molecular formula C_(6)H_(13)Cl. Compound A on treatment with hot alcoholic KOH gave a mixture of two isomeric normal alkenes (B) and (C) having formula C_(6)H_(12). The mixture (B) and (C) on ozonolysis furnished four compounds. what are A, B and C. |
Answer» Solution :From the molecular formula it is clear that compound is SATURATED alkyl halide. On treatment with alcoholic KOH, H-forms mixture of TWO normal ALKENES. It means halogen is not at TERMINAL carbon and the alkyl chloride contains long chain of carbon atoms. two possible alkene mixtures.  But the second mixture of alkenes cannot give four different compounds on ozonolysis. hence the structure and reaction are:
