Question

Four isomers A-D with the formula C5H12O exhibit different reactivity patterns as indicated below.

Isomer A reacts with PCC and CrO3 to provide identical products.  

Isomer B reacts with PCC and CrO3 to provide different products.  

Isomers C and D do not react with either PCC or CrO3.  

Isomers A, B, and C readily react with NaH but D does not show any reactivity with NaH.  

 

The 1H NMR splitting patterns for these isomers are as follows.  

 

Isomer A: δ 0.91 (d, 3H), 0.90 (d, 3H), 1.18 (d, 3H), 1.92 (dqq, 1H), 3.38 (dq, 1H), 3.58 (bs, 1H).

Isomer B: δ 1.25 (s, 9H), 3.45 (s, 2H), 3.65 (bs, 1H).

Isomer C: δ 0.90 (t, 3H), 1.44 (q, 2H), 1.24 (s, 6H), 3.65 (bs, 1H).

Isomer D: δ 1.10 (t, 3H), 1.13 (d, 6H), 3.19 (septet, 1H), 3.50 (q, 2H).

 

Based on all of this information, provide the structures of A-D.  (Note: If there is a chiral center on any of these molecules, assume the stereochemistry as “R”.  dqq=doublet of a quartet of a quartet, bs=broad singlet)
