Question

a)Draw the structural formula of compounds L, M, N and P

b)Name the type of chemical reaction for the formation of compound N.

Compound L has a molecular formula of C4H100 and gives a negative
result using chromic acid test (the orange color of chromic acid
unchanged). Compound L undergoes esterification reaction with propanoic
acid, CH3CH2COOH to produce compound M. Compound L reacts with
thionyl chloride, SOCI2 produced compound N.The reaction of compound N
with sodium hydroxide, NaOH produces an unsaturated compound P.
