Two isomers (A) and (B) with Molar mass 184g / mol and elemental compositio C, 52 . 2 % ; H, 49 % and Br42 . 9 % gave benzoic acid and p - bromobenzoic acid, respectively on oxidation with KMnO _ 4 . Isomer ' A ' is

Question

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. H _ 3 C - CHBr - C _ 6 H _ 5 and

Based on the percentage composition of the elements given the molecular formula of the compound is ${C}_{8}{H}_{9}Br$

Two isomers (A) and (B) with Molar mass 184g / mol and elemental compositio C, 52 . 2 % ; H, 49 % and Br42 . 9 % gave

And the degree of unsaturation or double bond equivalent of ${C}_{8}{H}_{9}Br$ is 4.

It is mentioned that A is optically active and gives pale yellow precipitate with ${AgNO}_{3}$ .

Hence, the structures of A and B can be deduced based on the following reactions.

Two isomers (A) and (B) with Molar mass 184g / mol and elemental compositio C, 52 . 2 % ; H, 49 % and Br42 . 9 % gave

Two isomers (A) and (B) with Molar mass 184g / mol and elemental...
