was
hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carhoxylic acid (B)and alcohol
(C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). (C)on dehydration gives
but-1-ene. Write equations for the reactionsinvolved.
(i) Ester produces a carboxylic
acid and an alcohol on hydrolysis.
(ii) Ester (A) has 8 C-atoms, calculate
the number of carbon atoms in acid and alcohol.
(iii) Guess the alcohol and the
acid according to the given reactions.
(iv) Now guess the ester
(v) Write all the related equations,
Answer:
(i) Since, [A] produces carboxylic acid [B] and an
alcohol [C]on hydrolylsis, compound [A] is an ester.
(ii) Alcohol [C] on oxidation produces
acid [B]. It means both [B] and[C] have same number of carbon atoms, i.e., four
each.
(v) The equations for all the above
reactions: are:
