Alcohols Phenols And Ethers Question 61
Question: An ether [A], $ C_5H _{12}O $ , when heated with excess of hot concentrated HI produced two alkyl halides which when treated with $ NaOH $ yielded compounds [B] and [C]. Oxidation of [B] and [C] gave a propanone and an ethanoic acid respectively. The IUPAC name of the ether [A] is:
Options:
A) 2-ethoxypropane
B) ethoxypropane
C) methoxybutane
D) 2-methoxybutane
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] hence the IUPAC name of compound is $ \underset{2-ethoxypropane}{\mathop{CH_3-CH_2-O-\underset{3}{\mathop{\overset{2}{\mathop{\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}}}}}H-\overset{1}{\mathop{C}}H_3}} $
