Draw the structure of compound (A) having molecular formula C_(5)H_(10)O on the basis of following characteristics: (a) If (A) gives iodoform test and forms isobutyric acid salt and iodoform. (b) If (A) does not reduce Tollen's reagent but gives iodoform test and forms salt of n-Butyric acid.

Draw the structure of compound (A) having molecular formula C_(5)H_(10

1.	Draw the structure of compound (A) having molecular formula C_(5)H_(10)O on the basis of following characteristics: (a) If (A) gives iodoform test and forms isobutyric acid salt and iodoform. (b) If (A) does not reduce Tollen's reagent but gives iodoform test and forms salt of n-Butyric acid.
Answer» Solution :(a) `(A)` is `3`-Methylbutan-`2`-ONE. `underset(3-"Methylbutan-2-one")(CH_(3)COCH(CH_(3))_(2))overset(I_(2)+KOH)rarrunderset("IODOFORM")(CHI_(3)+(CH_(3))_(2))underset("Isobutyric acid salt")(CHCOOK)` (b) `(A)` Should be Methyl ketone `underset("Pentan-2-one "" (A)")(CH_(3)COCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))overset(I_(2)+NAOH)rarrunderset("salt of n-butyric acid")(CHI_(3)+CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)COONa)`
