An organic compound 'A' with molecular formula C4H8O2 undergoes acid hydrolysis to form two compounds 'B' and 'C'. Oxidation of 'C' with acidified potassium permanganate also produces 'B'. Sodium salt of 'B' on heating with soda lime gives methane. (1) Identify 'A', 'B' and 'C'. (2) Out of 'B' and 'C', which will have higher boiling point ? Give reason.
An organic compound (A) (molecular formula C₈H₁₆O₂) was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to get a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). (C) on dehydration gives But-1-ene. Identify (A), (B) and (C) and write chemical equations for the reactions involved.
Write the equation for the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid. Name the product and state one of its properties.
