Two isomeric forms of an organic compound (A), C_11H_13OCI readily decolourise bromine water and give same compound (B) on catalytic hydrogenation. Both the isomeric forms on vigorous oxidation give (C) which on treatment with soda lime gives 2-chloro ethoxy benzene. However, (C) treatment with Ni/Al alloy in alkaline medium gives 3-ehtoxy benzoic acid. Only one of the isomers of (A) gives geometrical isomers (D) and (E). Identify (A) to (E) with proper reasoning.

Answer»

Solution :
HENCE,the structure of compound (C) can be,

The compound (A) is unsaturated which POSSESSES `-CI` and `-OC_2H_5` groups also.
The TWO isomers of (A) are

Both the isomers decolourise bromine water and on hydrogenation give the compound (B)


(i) isomer of (A) shows GEOMETRICAL isomerism, (D) and (E).
