Question

an alcohol A(C4H10O)on oxidation with acidified potassium dichromate gives acid B(C4H8O2)compound A when dehydrated with conc.H2SO4 at 443 k gives compounds C treatment of C with aqueoyH2SO4 gives compound D (C4H10O)which is an isomer of A. compound D is resistance to oxidation but compound A can be easily oxiditesed . identify A,B,C and D . Name the type of isomerism exhibited by A and B

Answer 1

A is 2-methylpropan-1-ol

B is 2-methylpropanoic acid

C is 2-methylprop-1-ene

D is 2-methyl propan-2-ol

A and D are position isomers
