Question

. Compound (A) C5H120 does not give a precipitate with phenylhydrazine. Oxidation of (A) with K2Cr207 gives B (C5H120) Compound B reacts B readily with phenyl hydrazine but does not give Tollen's test. The original compound (A) can be dehydrated with sulphuric acid to hydrocarbon C (C5H10). Ozonolysis of the hydrocarbon (C) gives acetone and acetaldehyde. Deduce the structural formula of A. B and C.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Compound ‘A’ reacts with phenyl hydrnzone, so it must contain a carbonyl group. But this compound does not give Tollen’s reagent test, thus it must be a ketone.
