Potassium Dichromate

An organic co...

Question

An organic compound $[A]$ having molecular formula $C_{2} H_{7} N$ on treatment with nitrous acid gives a compound $[B]$ having molecular formula $C_{2} H_{6} O$ . $[B]$ on treatment with an organic compound $[C]$ gives a carboxylic acid $[D]$ and a sweet smelling compound $[E]$ . Oxidation of $[B]$ with acidified potassium dichromate also gives $[D]$
Identify $[A], [B], [C], [D]$ and $[E]$

Solution

A is $C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2}$ ethylamine
B is $C_{2} H_{5} O H$ ethanol
C is $C H_{3} C O - O - C O - C H_{3}$ acetic anhydride
D is $C H_{3} C O O H$ Acetic acid
E is $C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5}$ ethyl acetate

Ethylamine on treatment with nitrous acid gives ethanol.
$C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2} H N O_{2} - --- \to C_{2} H_{5} O H$
Ethanol on treatment with acetic anhydride gives acetic acid and sweet-smelling ethyl acetate.
$C_{2} H_{5} O H + C H_{3} C O - O - C O - C H_{3} \to C H_{3} C O O H + C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5}$
Oxidation of ethanol with acidified potassium dichromate also gives acetic acid.
$C_{2} H_{5} O H K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7} - ---- \to C H_{3} C O O H$
