An isomer A of C 6 H 13 Cl on hydrolysis by moist silver oxide gives B . The compound B on oxidation gives C . The compound C on esterification with ethyl alcohol gives ethyl- 2 , 2 -dimethyl butanoate. Which of the following is A ?

Options

  1. A( CH 3 ) 2 CH – CH 2 – CH 2 – Cl

Correct answer

1

Step-by-step solution

There are 3 steps involved in this question 1 Hydration of alkyl halides in the presence of moist Silver Oxide. 2 Oxidation of alcohol to Carboxylic acid. 3 Esterification reaction to produce the final product. In the first step Halide ion gets substituted by Hydroxyl ion which results in the formation of alcohol.In the second step alcohol is turned into carboxylic acid and in the last step esterification of carboxylic acid happens. Name of ester is ethyl- 2 , 2 -dimethyl butanoate where ethyl is obtained from alco
