**Question 4:**Draw the structure of a C₅H₁₀O (note the formula carefully) compound which gives a negative Jones (CrO₃) test, does not decolorize Br₂, and cannot be reduced with NaBH₄.**Response Explanation:**- **C₅H₁₀O**: The compound has five carbons, ten hydrogens, and one oxygen.- **Negative Jones Test**: Indicates that the compound is likely not a primary or secondary alcohol or an aldehyde, as these would normally give a positive result (oxidation to a carboxylic acid).- **Does Not Decolorize Br₂**: Suggests the absence of alkenes or alkynes, as these typically react with bromine.- **Cannot be Reduced with NaBH₄**: Implies that the compound does not contain a reducible functional group like an aldehyde or ketone.**Possible Structure:**The diagram below the question shows a cyclic ether structure which aligns with a compound that meets these criteria. The depicted structure is a five-membered ring with an oxygen atom and appears to represent tetrahydropyran (also known as oxane), a type of cyclic ether.

Step 1

Jones test is test for detection of alcohols , only primary , secondary alcohols gives positive jones test. Tertiary alcohols and other functional groups gives negative jones test .

Br₂ test is used for detection of saturation and unsaturation. Decolorize Br₂ indicates presence of C=C .

NaBH₄ is reducing agent and reduces ketone to secondary alcohol and aldehyde to primary alcohol.
