Question

One mole of an organic compound 'A' with the formula C3H8O reacts completely with two moles of HI to form X and Y. When Y is boiled with aqueous alkali forms Z. Z answers the iodoform test. The compound A is (A) Propan-1-ol (B) Propan-2-ol (C) methoxyethane (D) ethoxyethane

Molecular formula C 3 H 8 O ( C n H 2 n+2 O ) suggests that the organic compound is either alcohol or ether. Since, the compound on reaction with HI gives two different compounds, it must be an unsymmetrical ether, and its formula must be CH 3 OC 2 H 5 (methoxyethane). The reactions are as follows. underset text methoxyethane CH 3 OC 2 H 5+2 HI longrightarrow undersetX CH 3 I + undersetYC 2 H 5 OH C 2 H 5 OH + underset text (aqueous) NaOH + I 2 longrightarrow underset text iodoform CHI 3+ HCOONa + H 2 O + NaI
