ORGANIC PROBLEMS FORM FIVE/SIX

1. An organic compound ‘A’ which has characteristic odour, on treatment with NaOH 

forms two compounds ‘B’ and ‘C’ compound ‘B’ has the molecular formula C7H8O 

which on oxidation gives back compound ‘A’. compound ‘C’ is the sodium salt of an 

acid which heated with soda lime yields an aromatic hydrocarbon ‘D’. Deduce 

A,B,C,D.

2. An organic compound ‘A’ is resistant to oxidation forms an oxidation forms a 

compound B(C3H3O) on reduction, B reacts with HBr to form a bromide ‘C’ which 

on treatment with alcoholic KOH forms an alkane ‘D’ (C3H6). Deduce A,B,C,D.

3. Eherial solution of an organic compound ‘A’ when heated with magnesium gave ‘B’ 

on treatment with ethanol followed by acid hydrolysis gave 2-propanol. Identify the 

compound A. what is B known as?

4. Primary alkyl halide C4H9Br (A) reacted with alcoholic KOH to give compound (B) is 

reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (A).when (A) is reacted with 

sodium metal it gives compound (D) C8H18 that was different from the compound 

formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. Give the formula of A and 

write equations.

5. A chloro compound ‘A’ on reduction with Zn – Cu and alcohol gives the hydro 

carbon (B) with five carbon atom. When ‘A’ is dissolved in ether and treated with 

sodium 2,2,5,5 tetra methyl hexane is formed structure of A and B?

6. An aromatic compound, ‘A’ on treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms 

compound, ‘B’ which on heating with Br2 and KOH forms a compound, ‘C’ of 

molecular formula C6H7N. Write the structures and IUPAC names of compounds A, 

B and C.

7. A alcohol A (C4H10O) on oxidation with acidified potassium dichromate to gives 

carboxylic acid B (C4H8O2). Compound A when dehydrated with conc. H2SO4 at 443 

gives compound C. Treatment of C with aqueous H2SO4 gives compound D. 

(C4H10O) which is an isomer of A. compound D is resistant to oxidation but 

compound A can be easily oxidized. Identify A, B, C and D and write their structures.

8. An organic compound A having molecular formula C6H6O gives a characteristic 

colour with aqueous FeCl3. When A is treated with NaOH and CO2 at 400 K under 

pressure compound B is obtained. Compound B on acidification gives, compound C 

which reacts with acetyl chloride to form D, which is a popular pain killer. Deduce 

the structure of A,B,C and D. What is the popular name of Drug D?

9. An organic compound (A) having molecular formula C5H10O gives a positive DNP 

test. It does not reduce Tollen’s Reagent but forms an addition compound with 

sodium hydrogen sulphite. On reaction with I2 in alkaline medium, it forms a yellow 

precipitate of compound B and another compound C having molecular formula 

C4H7O2Na. On oxidation with KMnO4 [A] forms two acids D and E having molecular 

formula C3H602 and C2H4O2 respective. Identity A,B,C,D and E.

10. An organic compound (A) has molecular formula (C5H10O). It does not reduce 

Tollens’ reagent but forms an orange precipitate with 2.4-DNP reagent. It forms a 

carboxylic acid (B) with molecular formula (C3H6O2) when treated with alkaline 2

KMnO4 and a yellow precipitate on treatment with NaOH and I2. On oxidation under 

vigorous conditions gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Sodium salt of (B) gave a 

hydrocarbon (C) in Kolbe’s Electrolytic Reduction. Identity (A), (B) and (C) and 

write the reactions involved.

11. A neutral compound P,C9H12O2,Fumes when treated with phosphorous penta-chloride 

and, when heated with acidified sodium dichromate solution another neutral 

compound, Q, is formed. Q produces a characteristic orange –red precipitate with a 

solution of 2,4 dinitrophenyl hydrazine but Q does not react with ammoniacal 

solution of silver oxide. P a yellow precipite with iodine and alkali and if the filtrate 

from this reaction is a acidified, an acid R, C8H8O3, is produced. R on boiling with 

hydrogen iodine gives a further acid, S.A familiar smell of oil of winter green is 

produced if S is warmed with methanol contain a little concentrated sulphuric acid as 

catalyst. Deduce the nature of compound P,Q,R and S and explain full all the reaction

between and ethanoic anhydride?

12. 60.0cm3

of gaseous hydrocarbon, A, was exploded with 400cm3

of oxygen. On 

cooling to room temperature and pressure, the residual gas occupied a volume of 

280cm3

. On shaking with aqueous potassium hydroxide, the volume left occupied 

40cm3. Treatment of compound A, with hydrogen chloride gas, yielded a compound 

B. When B was treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide, compound C was obtained 

which when reacted with ethanoic acid, produced a compound D. Compound D had 

a. Determine molecular formula of A and write the structure of the possible isomers 

of this compound

b. Give names and structural formulae of B, C and D and explain, with the aid of 

equations, the reason for your deductions.

13. Write the formulae for the organic products formed in these reactions

(a) C2H5COCH3 + C6H5NHNH2
