Question

An organic acid A(C5H10O2) reacts with Br2 in presence of phosphorus to produce a resolvable compound B. B on dehydrobromination yields C. C does not show geometrical isomerism and on decarboxylation gives an alkene D. D on ozonolysis gives E and F. Compound E gives positive Schiff's test but F does not. Give structures of A to F.

Solution

  • Bromination will occur next to the COOH group as the COOH group make stable the carbocation
  • C does not show geometrical as the both groups on left side are same of double bond
  • Ozonolysis will break the bond and form secondary carbon to ketone and primary carbon to aldehyde
  • F( formaldehyde) does not give the Schiff base test.
