The compound A on treatment with Na gives B, and with PCl gives C. B and C react together to give diethyl ether. A, B and C are in the order
CHClCHCHOH
CHOHCHClCHONa
CHOHCHCHCl
CHOHCHONaCHCl
To solve this problem, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C based on the given reactions.Let's analyze the reactions step-by-step:1. Compound A on treatment with Na gives B:• Sodium (Na) reacts with alcohols to form alkoxides.• Therefore, A is likely an alcohol.• If A is (ethanol), it reacts with Na to form (sodium ethoxide) and 2. Compound A on treatment with gives C:• reacts with alcohols to form alkyl chlorides.• Therefore, if A is it reacts with to form (ethyl chloride).3. B and C react together to give diethyl ether:• Sodium ethoxide (B) reacts with ethyl chloride (C) to form diethyl ether.• This is a typical Williamson ether synthesis reaction.Based on the above analysis, we can identify:• A is (ethanol)• B is (sodium ethoxide)• C is (ethyl chloride)Therefore, the correct order of A, B, and C is:Option 4:
