Heating a particular ether with thionyl chloride yielded a single organic product. Which of the following conclusions may be reached?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

(Heating an ether with SOCl2 gives a single organic product.)

Single organic product means cleavage yields the same organic fragment on both sides (or a ring gives one product). Thus, the ether is either symmetrical (R–O–R, where R is identical) or a cyclic ether that yields a single identifiable product upon cleavage.
