Question

An organic compound A has molecular formula C5H10O and it neither decolourise bromine water solution nor evolve any gas on heating with Na-metal. A on refluxing with aqueous HI yields B(C5H10I2) which is non-resolvable. B on treatment with NaCN in acetone yield C(C5H10IN) in significant amount while B on treatment with aqueous H2O yields D(C5H11IO) in significant amount. D does not change the orange colour of acidic dichromate solution. Deduce structures of A to D.

Solution

Let us understand the importance of the given data:
  • It does not decolorize K2Cr2O7Ether this is confirmed with Br2/H2O which indicates there is no double bond present.
  • Only one I-group is substituted so the compound is asymmetric.
