Question

An organic compound $A$ with molecular formula $C_{3} H_{6} O$ is resistant to oxidation but forms compound $B$ $C_{3} H_{8} O$ on reduction, compound $B$ reacts with $H B r$ from $C$ and $C$ reacts with $M g$ from Grignard reagent. $D$ reacts with $A$ to form a product which on hydrolysis gives $E$ . Identify $A, B, C, D, E$

Solution

Since $A$ with molecular formula $C_{3} H_{6} O$ is resistant to oxidation $A$ should be $C H_{3} C O C H_{3}$ not $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$ . $A$ on reduction give isopropanol $(B)$ which reacts with $H B r$ to give $2 - B r o m o p r o p a n e$ $(C)$ . $C$ reacts with $M g$ to give Grignard reagent $D$ . $D$ reacts with $A$ to give $E$ .

An organic compound A with molecular formula C3H6O is resistant to oxidation but forms compound B C3H8O on reduction, compound B reacts with HBr from C and C reacts with Mg from Grignard reagent. D reacts with A to form a product which on hydrolysis gives E. Identify A,B,C,D,E

Since A with molecular formula C3H6O is resistant to oxidation A should be CH3COCH3 not CH3CH2CHO. A on reduction give isopropanol (B) which reacts with HBr to give 2−Bromopropane (C). C reacts with Mg to give Grignard reagent D. D reacts with A to give E .
