- An organic compound A which has a characteristic odour is treated with 50% NaOH to give B (C7H8O)and C which is a sodium salt of an organic acid . Oxidation of B gives back A. Heating C with soda lime yields an aromatic hydrocarbon D . Deduce the structures of A,B,C and Darrow_forwardAn organic compound A of unknown structure was found to have a molecular formula C8H16. When A was poured in water and heated, compound B having a molecular formula C8H18O was formed. B upon heating with sulfuric acid was converted to C as the major product which is identical to A. Ozonolysis of C gave one molecule each of two different products D and E, both having a molecular formula C4H8O.
