Compoune (A) C_5H_(10)O_5, give a tetra-acetate with Ac_2O and oxidation of (A) with Br_2 - H_2O gives an acid, C_5H_(10)O_6. Reduction of (A) with HI and red phosphorous gives 3-methylbutane. What is structure of (A)? |
Answer» Solution :The formation of tetracetate INDICATES of 4OH group and OXIDATION with bromine water indicates presence of CHO group. REDUCTION with red phosphorous and HI indicates presence of one carbon in the side chain. Thus, the STRUCTURE of (A) WOULD be
