Provide the principle organic product for the following reactions. If more than one product is formed indicate which one you expect to be the major product.
A task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as
compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through
various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same
molecular formula, CSHSO. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of
these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an
organic compound with the molecular formula C§H100. However, compound K can
be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for
compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds react with Fehling's solutions,
they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirror
when it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not.
Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoring
their position isomerism.
Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K.
Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4-…
