Question

Two isomers A and B with Molar mass 184 &#160; g / mol and elemental compositio C , &#160; 52 . 2 % ; &#160; H , &#160; 49 % and Br &#160; 42 . 9 % gave benzoic acid and p - bromobenzoic acid, respectively on oxidation with KMnO 4 . Isomer ' A ' is optically active and gives a pale yellow precipitate when warmed with alcoholic AgNO 3 . Isomer ' A ' and ' B ' are, respectively :

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Based on the percentage composition of the elements given the molecular formula of the compound is $C_{8} H_{9} Br$

And the degree of unsaturation or double bond equivalent of $C_{8} H_{9} Br$ is 4.

It is mentioned that A is optically active and gives pale yellow precipitate with ${AgNO}_{3}$ .

Hence, the structures of A and B can be deduced based on the following reactions.
