Question
Three organic compounds A, B and C are non cyclic functional isomers of carbonyl compounds with molecular formula C4H8O. Isomers A and C give positive Tollen’s test while compound B does not give positive Tollen’s test but gives positive iodoform test. Compounds A and B on reduction with Zn amalgam and conc. HCl give the same product.
- Write the structures of the compounds A, B and C.
- Out of the compounds A, B and C, which one will be the least reactive towards addition of HCN.
Solution
(a) [A] = CH3CH2CH2CHO
[B] = CH3COCH2CH3
[C] = CH3CH(CH3)CHO
(b) [B] will be least reactive towards addition of HCN.
