Question
An organic compound has molecular formula A (C7H10) and known to decolourized Br2-water solution.A on reduction with H2/Pt produces B (C7H14). B on monochlorination with Cl2/hv produces four isomeric monochloro derivatives C7H13Cl. A on ozonolysis followed by work-up with Zn-dimethyl sulphide affords two and only two products, one being methanal and other C (C6H8O3). C is oxidised with acidic solution of dochromate to yields D (C6H8O5) which is soluble in NaHCO3. D is reduced with NaBH4 to yield E (C6H10O3) which may be resolved into enantiomers. Identify A to E.
