Which of the following ethers form peroxide readily?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\mathrm{iPr}—\mathrm{O}—\mathrm{iPr}

Option C (

\mathrm{iPr}—\mathrm{O}—\mathrm{iPr}

) is correct because isopropyl ether is known to form peroxides more readily than other ethers due to the stability of the radical formed during the peroxide formation process.

Ethers are made free from peroxide linkage on distilling impure sample with: The product 'B' in the following reaction is

{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{OH}}\xrightarrow{{{\text{PCC}}}}{\text{A}}\xrightarrow[{\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right){\text{ }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O/}}{{\text{H}}^ + }}]{{\left( {\text{i}} \right){\text{ HCN}}}}{\text{B}}

Fenton’s reagent is: Assertion:- Isopropyl benzene reacts with

\mathrm{O}_2

and acid gives phenol.

Reason:- Initially isopropyl benzene converts into 2-phenyl propan-2-ol. When an ether is treated with

{\mathrm{P}_2}{\mathrm{S}_5}

we get: Physical properties of:
