2. Compound P, C4H9Br reacts with aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to form compound Q, C4H10O. Compound Q decolourised acidified solution of potassium permanganate to yield compound R, C4H8O which give an orange precipitate when react with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine. Both compounds Q and R formed yellow precipitate with alkaline iodine solution. Compound P also reacts with magnesium metal to form compound S, C4H9MgBr. Compound R reacts with compound S, followed by hydrolysis to give compound T, C8H18O. Compound T gives off white fumes when react with PCl5. (a) Determine the structural formulae of P, Q, R, S and T. Write all the reaction equations involved. (b) State the IUPAC name of compound T.
