EASY
Predict the products of the following reaction:
CH3-CH2-CH2-O-CH3+HBr
 
HARD
A compound (X) containing only C, H and O is unreactive towards sodium. It does not add bromine. It does not react with Schiff reagent. On refluxing with an excess of hydroiodic acid, (X) Yields only one organic product (Y). On hydrolysis, (Y) yields a new compound (Z) which can be converted to (Y) by reaction with red phosphorous and iodine. The compound (Z), on oxidation with KMnO4 gives a carboxylic acid. The equivalent weight of this acid is 60. What are the compounds (X), (Y) and (Z). Write chemical equation leading to the conversion of (X) to (Y).
