Question

A substance C 4 ​ H 10 ​ O yields on oxidation a compound, C 4 ​ H 8 ​ O which gives an oxime and a positive iodoform test. The original substance on treatment with conc. H 2 ​ SO 4 ​ gives C 4 ​ H 8 ​ . The structure of the compound is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

C 4 ​ H 8 ​ O ( R − COCH 3 ​ ) Thus C 4 ​ H 8 ​ O should be CH 3 ​ CH 2 ​ COCH 3 ​ , hence C 4 ​ H 10 ​ O should be CH 3 ​ CH 2 ​ CHOHCH 3 ​
