Question

An organic compound ‘X’ with molecular formula C3H8O on reaction with this

copper based catalyst gives compound ‘Y’ which reduces Tollen’s reagent. ‘X’ on

reaction with sodium metal gives ‘Z’ . What is the product of reaction of ‘Z’ with 2-

chloro-2-methylpropane?​

Answer 1

answer: X=ch3ch2ch2oh

y=ch3chcho

z=ch3ch2ch2ONa

and z on reaction with chloro-2-methyl propane give ch3-c(ch)=ch2
