Write out all the isomers of the compound with molecular formula C4H10O Select the normal/ primaryisomer and treat it with conc. H2SO4 and heat. Identify the reaction and give the product ‘A’ from it. Treatment of ‘A’ with HCl/H2O gives ‘B’ Treatment of ‘A’ with cold KMnO4/ -OH gives ‘C’ Treatment of ‘A’ with Hot KMnO4/-OH gives ‘D’ followed by acidification of the mixture to give ‘E’
