Compound K, L and M are three isomers with the molecular formula C5H10O.Compound K cannot be oxidized, while compound M and L can be oxidized.Oxidation of compound L with hot acidified potassium permanganate,KMnO4 solution yields 2-methylbutanoic acid. When treated with Iodoformreagent, yellow precipitation only occurs in compound K. Fehling test onlyyielded positive results for compound L and negative for compound M andK. Compound M is then reacted with hydrogen chloride, HCl produceschlorocyclopentane
