Compound 'X' of molecular formula C_(4)H_(10)O on treatment wit Lucas reagent at room temperature gives compound 'Y'. When compound 'Y' is heated with alcoholic KOH, it gives isobutene. Compound 'X' and 'Y' are respectively.

Answer»

2-Methyl-2-propanol and 2-Methyl-2-chloropropane
2-Methyl-1-propanol and 1-Chloro-2-methylpropane
2-Methyl-1-propanol and 2-Methyl-2-chloropropane
Butane-2-ol and 2-Chlorobutane

Solution :`(A) H_(3)C-UNDERSET(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-OH underset(ZnCl_(2))overset(HCl)rarr H_(3)C-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-Cl overset("alk. KOH")rarr H_(3)C-underset(CH_(2))underset(||)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)`
Thus (X) is 2-methylpropan-2-ol and (Y) is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane.
