Published on: August 14, 2026

A white precipitate was formed slowly when silver nitrate was added to compound A with molecular formula C6H13Cl. Compared A on treatment with hot alcoholic potassium hydroxide gave a mixture of two isomeric alkenes B and C, having formula C6H12. The mixture of

B
and
C
, on ozonolysis, furnished four compounds : (i) CH3CHO (ii) C2H5CHO (iii) CH3COCH3 (iv) What are the structures of A, B and C –

CHECK THE SOLUTION.

Sol. (i)A on reaction with alcoholic KOH gives a

mixture of two isomeric alkenes B and C.

C6H13Cl C6H12 + C6H12

Isomers

(ii) Mixture of B and C on ozonolysis gives four

products i.e.,

(1) CH 3 CHO (2) C 2 H 5 CHO

(3) CH 3 COCH 3 (4)

(iii) Since B and C are of six carbon atoms each

and thus, product formed on ozonolysis for

each alkene must contain in all six carbon atoms. That

is why one alkene gives CH 3 CHO +

and other alkene gives C 2 H 5 CHO and CH 3 COCH 3

Thus alkenes are :

(iv) Since B and C are formed from halide A, thus halide should be :

Reactions involved are as :

3-chloro-2-methyl pentane

+

2-methyl pentene-2 4-methyl pentene-2
