Question

An organic compound X with molecular formula C3H8O on reaction with thin copper based catalyst gives compound Y which reduces Tollens 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:

2,3-dimethyl-1-butene

Explanation:

CH2=C(CH3)2

Answer 2

answer

X=ch3ch2ch2oh

y=ch3chcho

z=ch3ch2ch2ONa

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

which is equivalent to (ch3)2ch=ch2
