21B is isopropyl alcohol
A [12]
An Ester A(C4H8O2) on treatment with excess methyl chloride followed by acidification, gives an alcohol B as the sole organic product.
Alcohol B, on oxidation with NaOCl followed by acidification, gives acetic acid. Deduce the structure of A and B.

thus
21Sir, pl. give some hint or the first step........
its been a while for this questn now!!!
1hey tapan the answers are correct but dunno of reaction b/w ester and the methyl chloride .
21Sri da,
An Ester A(C4H8O2) on treatment with excess methyl chloride followed by acidification
Widout knowin this ^^^ how can v get da answer???
1Alcohol B, on oxidation with NaOCl followed by acidification, gives acetic acid
see this gives the link for the alcohol and use the formula to get the acid
21oh okie!!!
BUT lets HUNT for the reactn : ester + X's CH3Cl gives wat??
1haan hunt begins!will revise them by tommorrow evening and let you know
1may be cl will attack on the carbon of carbonyl group and OC3H7 will depart
