Question

A primary alcohol, $C_3H_8O(A)$ on heating with sulphuric acid undergo dehydration to give an alkene, $B$. $B$ when reacted with $HCl$ gave $C$, which on treatment with aqueous $KOH$ gives compound $D(C_3H_8O)$. $A$ and $D$ are

• A. functional isomers
• B. position isomers
• C. chain isomers
• D. stereoisomers

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

position isomers

Answer 2

$\underset{\text{(A)}}{\cf{CH3CH2CH2OH}}$ ${ ->[\Delta][H_2SO_4] }$ $\underset{\text{(B)}}{\cf{CH3CH = CH2 + H2O}}$} undefined $A$ and $D$ are position isomers.
