An acyclic organic compound with the formula C 6 H 12 O is found to be optically

Question:

An acyclic organic compound with the formula C6H12O is found to be optically active, does not decolorize Br2 (in CCl4), and does not undergo reaction when treated with a mixture of Na2Cr2O7 and H2SO4. However, a reaction does occur when the compound is treated with NaBH4. Identify a compound having these physical and chemical properties. Then draw structures for the two stereoisomers, using dashed and solid wedge symbols. Finally, give acceptable names for the two stereoisomers.
